How Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers Work

It can be trickier to maintain comfortable humidity levels if the local climate is notably humid or dry. In addition, your own HVAC system can have an impact on how much moisture is floating around. Whole-house humidity control systems reverse the impact of these outside influences. The operation of humidifiers and dehumidifiers are relatively similar, with the principal distinction being where the moisture is sent.

With humidifiers, water evaporates via warm air before it enters the HVAC system. Dehumidifiers function in reverse, cooling moist air until the moisture condenses into liquid water. Both humidifiers and dehumidifiers are installed near your HVAC system’s ductwork so that it evenly balances moisture around a home or commercial property. It also incorporates a plumbing connection so that it has direct access to water or drainage.

Whole-house humidifiers are usually hooked up to the property’s plumbing system for a constant supply of water it can evaporate for humidity. Some designs use the furnace’s blower motor while others rely on their own fan system for evaporation.

Alternatively, a dehumidifier features a condensate drainage system to make sure removed moisture is fully expelled. It could be sent to a reservoir tank or be sent straight into your sump pump or sewer line. In case it’s deposited into a tank, it has to be routinely emptied.

What Are Some Benefits of a Humidifier/Dehumidifier?

Based on what type of humidity control system you may need, a quality whole-house system can serve up various benefits to your sense of comfort, including:

Humidifiers

  • Protects belongings from drying out: Introducing humidity into dry air can have a positive effect on much more than just your sense of comfort. As an example, it helps keep wood furniture, cabinetry and flooring from drying out, which often leads to splitting or cracking.
  • Relieves allergies and skin irritation: Low humidity can worsen coughing and sneezing along with rashes and other skin conditions. Humidifiers offer steady relief to people dealing with skin or sinus issues.
  • Lowers risk of some illnesses: Ample humidity in the air can help keep people healthy by keeping their nasal passages from drying out. Dry, inflamed sinuses are more likely to struggle with keeping illness-causing bacteria and viruses under control.

Dehumidifiers

  • Discourages the conditions for mold/mildew growth: Warm, humid air is an ideal environment for a variety of microorganisms in addition to pests. Adding a whole-house dehumidifier discourages mold, mildew and dust mites from growing in the hidden corners of the property. For extra support when dealing with microbes, try a UV Germicidal light.
  • Stops wood rot and water damage: Excessively humid air can wreak havoc on a wide range of materials indoors, like wood furniture and flooring or even paint. They are more likely to warp or rot from within as a consequence of excessive moisture.
  • Minimizes musty odors: Once mold and rot are growing indoors, they can emit bad odors that are tough to get rid of. Stabilized humidity keeps your indoor air smelling clean and fresh.
