Which type of humidifier is right for your home depends on a combination of your needs and a number of systematic factors and the only way to really know is to have a heating and cooling expert from P.K. Wadsworth Heating & Cooling size your home. The three most common types of humidifiers for your HVAC system are fan-powered, bypass humidifiers, and steam humidifiers. Which is right for your home, you will need a P.K. Wadsworth Heating & Cooling professional to determine, but fan-powered humidifiers are a very common choice. Fan-powered humidifiers work by using a fan to blow air across an evaporative pad. The evaporating water then passes through your ductwork and is output with the air. Bypass systems work similarly; the only difference is that they use the blower motor of your furnace instead of their own fans to accomplish the same effect. While bypass humidifiers are quieter, they tend to be slightly less efficient than their counterparts. Steam humidifiers cost the most to operate and maintain, but generally are the most efficient. Steam humidifiers function by heating water and then dispersing it as steam.

Indications that you may need a humidifier in your HVAC system are dry hair, dry skin, low humidity, itchy and flaky skin, especially during the winter, frequent colds and sinus infections, and of course, bloody noses. Less obvious indications that your home is in need of a humidifier are stuck doors, creaky floors, and any type of wood object in your home warping. If you notice any of these signs in your home, call P.K. Wadsworth Heating & Cooling to see about installing a humidifier today.
