A whole-house humidifier operates by introducing moisture into the air via your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Most homes have it connected to the water main via the ducting. The device distributes a fine mist of water vapor throughout the house as it passes through the HVAC system. This helps to keep the relative humidity constant, which is especially helpful during the dry winter months when problems like dry skin, stuffy noses, and static electricity are more common.
A whole-house dehumidification device eliminates excess humidity in the air. Whether it’s part of an existing HVAC system or used independently, it works by drawing warm, humid air through a network of cooling coils, which subsequently evaporates the water. Recirculating the drier air around the house reduces the relative humidity. Overly humid conditions are a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and musty odors; this method helps to avoid their proliferation. It also prevents moisture-related damage, such as warped wood or peeling paint, and makes the air within the house more comfortable to breathe.
