Choosing the Right Whole-Home Humidifier for Your Furnace

It won’t be long before we are flipping our thermostats to provide us warmer air and make our homes nice and cozy during the colder temps. And warmer air equates to drier air that can affect our overall health. You may have never considered monitoring humidity levels inside, or maybe you’re attempting to find just the ideal balance. We’ve talked about the benefits of a whole-home humidifier from decreasing the chances of getting sick to helping with your skin. But how do you know which system is the best for your family? 

If you aren’t familiar, a whole-home humidifier utilizes water directly from your water supply and the water panel only needs to be changed a couple times during the heating season. There are more up-front costs to begin, but there is less maintenance, lower energy costs and mold prevention in the long-run. 

There are a couple items you’ll need to consider when purchasing a whole-home humidifier. 

  • Size—The humidifier’s capacity and size is based on gallons per day of operation. One way to determine what size you want is to take your total floor area and multiply it by the height of your home’s ceiling. This will help determine how many gallons per hour is necessary and be a guide as you review your options. 
  • Budget—There are initial expenses when purchasing the humidifier equipment, but it’s important to also consider how much money will go into operation and maintenance. There are many models that can help meet the needs in your home while sticking to a budget you are comfortable with. 

All homes and families are different. Our team at Stevenson Service Experts can give you a home health report to help you select which humidifier will work for your home. And our assessment will make sure you are getting the best solution to fit your existing HVAC system.
