Furnace Mount Humidifier

The way furnace humidifiers work is that they are usually fitted into your heating system. It’s probably best to have a heating and cooling professional install it for you if you don’t have one already. Normally, these units come with the furnace that you buy.

One type of furnace mount humidifier uses a reservoir system. Water sits in a pan and this is where the unit creates moisture. The problem with this type of system is that the water just stays in the pan accumulating all kinds of bacteria that could lead to health problems.

The other type of unit is the flow through humidifier. The water will drain out of the system instead of standing in the pan. This is a more expensive option but it’s healthier than the reservoir system.

Since the humidifier is mounted in your furnace, you end up using less heat in the winter time. The humidifier makes the whole house feel warmer so you don’t have to use as much energy. Since you’re not using as much energy, you end up saving money on your energy bill.

Instead of just humidifying one room, you are now regulating the humidity in your entire house. Your home will feel more comfortable in the winter time and you won’t have to worry about dry air in any area of your house.

When you’re ready to buy a furnace humidifier, make sure you get one with a humidistat. You will be able to control the amount of humidity in your home with this feature. You don’t want too much humidity which could lead to molds and bacteria buildup in your home.

Another great asset to this type of unit is that you don’t have to clean it every couple of weeks like with a single room unit. The humidifier is usually cleaned once a year when the heating and cooling professional comes out to do regular maintenance on your furnace.
