Humidifiers work by adding moisture to dry indoor air, either by evaporating water from a wick, atomizing it with ultrasonic vibration, or boiling it into steam. Whole-home humidifiers tie into your HVAC system and release humidity into the ductwork so it’s delivered evenly throughout the home, while portable units treat one room at a time.
Types of whole-home humidifiers
- Bypass — Uses a wick pad and the furnace blower to evaporate water
- Fan-powered — Has its own fan for higher output and faster humidity recovery
- Steam — Boils water into pure vapor for the highest output, even when the furnace isn’t running
Spokane winters can drop indoor humidity well below 20%, leading to dry skin, sinus issues, static shocks, and cracked wood floors. Our team installs and services whole-home humidifiers and can pair them with dehumidifiers and air purifiers for full-year comfort.
