The Ultimate Guide to Whole Home Furnace Humidifiers: Improving Indoor Comfort and Health
As winter approaches, many homeowners face the challenges of dry air inside their homes. The low humidity levels in winter can cause a variety of issues, such as dry skin, sore throat, respiratory discomfort, static electricity, and even damage to furniture and woodwork. One effective solution to combat dry air is a whole home furnace humidifier. In this article, we will explore the benefits of whole home furnace humidifiers and how they can improve indoor comfort and health for you and your family.
What is a Whole Home Furnace Humidifier?
A whole home furnace humidifier is a device that is installed directly into your home’s heating system to add moisture to the air that is circulated throughout your entire home. It works in conjunction with your furnace to introduce moisture into the air before it is distributed to different rooms through the air ducts. Whole home furnace humidifiers are typically installed by HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) professionals and are connected to your home’s water supply for a continuous supply of water to humidify the air.
Benefits of Whole Home Furnace Humidifiers
Improved Indoor Air Quality: Dry indoor air can lead to a variety of respiratory issues, such as dry throat, coughing, and congestion. It can also exacerbate existing respiratory conditions like allergies and asthma. Whole home furnace humidifiers help to add moisture to the air, making it easier to breathe and reducing the risk of respiratory discomfort. By maintaining optimal humidity levels in your home, you can improve your indoor air quality and create a healthier living environment for you and your family.
Enhanced Comfort: Dry air can cause discomfort in many ways, such as dry skin, chapped lips, and static electricity. It can also make the air feel colder, leading to the temptation to turn up the thermostat and increase energy consumption. Whole home furnace humidifiers help to add moisture to the air, making it feel warmer and more comfortable, even at lower temperatures. This can help you save on energy bills while maintaining a comfortable living environment.
Protection for Your Home: Dry air can also cause damage to your home’s interior, including woodwork, furniture, and musical instruments. Low humidity levels can cause wood to shrink, crack, or warp, leading to costly repairs or replacements. Whole home furnace humidifiers help to maintain proper humidity levels, protecting your home’s interior and preserving its integrity. Additionally, they can help reduce static electricity, which can damage electronics and appliances.
Convenience and Efficiency: Whole home furnace humidifiers are installed directly into your home’s heating system, which means they operate automatically whenever your furnace is running. They require minimal maintenance, with most models having automatic shut-off features when water levels are low or when the furnace is not running. Whole home furnace humidifiers are also more efficient than portable humidifiers, as they can humidify your entire home with a single unit, without the need for multiple devices in different rooms.
Easy to Control: Whole home furnace humidifiers typically come with easy-to-use controls that allow you to adjust humidity levels to your desired comfort level. Some models also have built-in humidity sensors that automatically adjust the humidity levels based on the current indoor conditions. This allows you to customize the humidity levels in your home and maintain optimal comfort throughout the winter season.
Whole home furnace humidifiers are an excellent solution for improving indoor comfort and health during the winter months. They provide many benefits, including improved indoor air quality, enhanced comfort, protection for your home, convenience, and easy control. If you are facing issues with dry air in your home during the winter season, consider installing a whole home furnace humidifier with the help of an HVAC professional.

“Prompt service, Fair price, Friendly staff. Would use Garry and his crew again without a doubt.”
“I’ve had Garry’s team come out a couple of times lately. Vince cleaned out the ducts and Amy fixed up a problem from another company’s installation. Both folks were very friendly, answered all my questions and arrived early. This is a great family business to work with. They did an excellent job on a furnace replacement at my old house a few years ago as well.”
“I have used Garry’s twice this year. An AC issue that was promptly addressed, diagnosed and repaired this summer and most recently this November for our furnace. Knowing that issues arise with our homes, it’s a comfort to know that we have a local company that truly cares and supports.”
“Vince was fantastic to deal with- very professional and courteous. He explained the process well and finished on time. I definitely recommend using him for your Furnace & Duct cleaning.”
“One of the best companies in Edmonton for AC installation. I truly felt my business was appreciated and everything was done professionally. The only reason I am refraining from giving 5 stars is because of the Electrical Services company they use. The electrical installation (which is not part of Garry’s crew) was a nightmare because the city would not approve the installation. After a long and tedious journey, Garry made sure me (the customer) was treated fairly and the electrical services company followed through with the permit. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend Garry’s heating services. Some of the friendliest folks out there.”
“Our air conditioner died late on a Friday evening during a hot spell. Monday morning the company we have used in the past for furnace/AC indicated the earliest they could come and determine the problem was Thursday afternoon; this was not soon enough for us. I have a home office on the second floor that has significant sun exposure and large windows. I called Garry’s, and they we available the next day around noon. Rick was able to come a bit earlier than the scheduled appointment and quickly determined our 20+ year old Carrier was unsalvageable. At first, they indicated the earliest they could install a new unit was the following Monday; after a bit of pleading (my office was unbearable) they made arrangements and quickly booked us in for the next day. They arrived earlier than booked that day and everything went smoothly. We are very pleased with the work performed and in particular the timeliness – Garry’s will be our furnace/AC service provider moving forward.”
“Everything about my experience with Garry’s heating was amazing. First speaking to Heather setting up the appointments was always very friendly, timely and professional, the quote was done quickly and Garry answered all the questions I had and laid out a few different options that would works for me. Lastly Amy and the team came and installed everything quickly and professionally being very respectful of my home and being very pleasant and knowledgeable to deal with. Highly recommend this company. Thank you for the great service.”
