What is a Humidifier?

What is a Humidifier?

A humidifier is a device that adds moisture to the air in a specific room or area. This can help reduce symptoms of dryness, such as respiratory difficulties and irritated skin. Humidifiers also reduce static electricity and can help preserve items like furniture and musical instruments. In addition to providing comfort, humidifiers have multiple health benefits including reducing breathing issues and dry skin. Humidifiers can be for single rooms, or small areas, or for entire homes or buildings. Whole-home humidifiers work with existing HVAC equipment to add humidified air to outgoing air before it goes into throughout the ductwork and into the home. They can also work independently of your HVAC equipment to maintain humidity levels even when the furnace or air handler isn’t in use as a stand-alone product.

Types of Humidifiers

If your home is too dry, you should consider investing in a humidifier to add moisture to the air. Newark-Heath Heating & Cooling offers a line of humidifiers to help you optimize your home heating system in the winter and relieve dry air and low humidity issues such as wood damage, chapped lips, dry skin, flu symptoms, and allergy and asthma flare-ups. Below are the different types of humidifiers available: 

Central Humidifier

Central or whole-home humidification units are installed directly into a homeowners HVAC system and work effectively to humidify the dwelling evenly throughout.

Evaporator Humidifier

These single units add moisture to the room it is placed in. Similar to how a boiling pot of water evaporates and sends moisture to the air, an evaporator humidifier works the same way. They are small and relatively inexpensive options. However, they’re only intended for a small area. 

Impeller Humidifier

These are also called a “cool mist humidifier.” They utilize a rotating disc that emits water through a diffuser. This breaks larger droplets up into a fine mist. They are considered a child-friendly option, and require minimal energy to humidify a larger area. The downside is that they can be noisy and a home for bacteria, which tends to gather around the filter. 

Steam Vaporizers

These portable units can be found at your area drugstore or online but keep in mind, they are known to cause burns. Be careful using them if you have pets or small children.

Benefits of Humidifier Installation

Reduce The Risk Of Illness

Bacteria and viruses can’t travel as well in moist air. It is possible that using a humidifier might prevent you from catching a bug during the cold season. In any case, dry air can cause a host of health-related problems. 

Comfortable Sinuses

Have you ever woken up with a dry nose that felt stiff during the winter? Even if you don’t have a cold, winter air dries out the sinuses and lowers one’s immunity to airborne and other bacteria.  More moisture in the air means more comfortable sinuses.

Prevents Morning Sore Throat

Because overly dry air affects your vocal cords, it can leave you with a dry, scratchy throat in the morning. Keeping the air moist and maintaining humidity levels during the winter helps provide relief to your vocal cords, especially while you sleep.

Reduces Heating Bills

During the summer months humidity in the air makes the home feel warmer. This is because moisture holds heat. By adding moisture to the air in your home during the winter, it’s no different. You save money on your heating bills. 

Protects Furniture

Not enough moisture in the air in your home can cause wood furnishing, woodwork and wood flooring to crack and even split. Using a humidifier helps preserve the integrity of the wood in your home.

Better Sleep

If you or someone in your home snores at night, it might be related to dry sinuses, which makes snoring worse.  A moist environment that has ideal humidity levels can soothe dry sinuses, lower snoring levels and bring you the comfort conducive to a good night’s sleep. 

Minimize Static

With dry winter air there also comes static electricity in the form of shocks that are almost inevitable in some homes during the winter.  No one likes a jarring jolt of a static shock or having their clothing stick to them. It’s not good for your electronics either. Using a humidifier helps reduce, if not eliminate, static electricity in your home during winter. 

Faster Recovery From Illness

If you do wind up with a cold, the flu, or a sinus infection, a humidifier is a sure way to reduce your recovery and healing time. The moisture in the air helps you bounce back, keeping your nasal passages and throat moist. This minimizes symptoms like coughing and sneezing.

General Humidifier Questions & Answers

What is the ideal level of humidity to maintain?

Relative humidity levels should be kept between 30 and 50 percent in homes and businesses. Some say 40 and 50 percent. In any case, humidity levels above 50 percent are breeding grounds for bacteria, mold, dust mites and other pests. Humidity levels below 30 percent increase the risk of flu and cold viruses, creating uncomfortable respiratory symptoms.

What size humidifier do I need?

The size of humidifier that you need depends on both the size of the room and how quickly you want to raise the humidity levels. For small rooms, a smaller, tabletop humidifier may be sufficient; however, for larger rooms a console or whole-house humidifier may be more appropriate. You should check the square footage area you would like to humidify. Most humidifier manufacturers display the square footage area they can cover. If you’re looking for humidity control for your whole house to protect wood and create a more comfortable environment that costs less to heat, give us a call or see our whole-home humidifier special offer.

How much upkeep do humidifiers require?

Humidifiers are typically low-maintenance appliances, but they do require some upkeep in order to function properly and maintain a comfortable level of humidity in your home. As water is used to create the mist, it can become contaminated with bacteria or mold over time.

If you’re looking for a humidifier that requires the minimal work to maintain the humidity level in your residence, you definitely should consider a whole-house humidifier from Newark-Heath Heating & Cooling. Portable humidifiers require constant maintenance that includes cleaning it and regularly filling the reservoir.
