Types of Humidifier

A whole-house humidifier is the best type if you can afford one. Each of these humidifiers is unified with the HVAC system that instills the conditioned air with moisture then circulates it throughout the home. This type of humidifier requires dedicated plumbing connections, so there is constant water available. The three types of whole-house humidifiers are:

Bypass Humidifier:

This type of humidifier is installed at the furnace on bypass ducting and uses a water panel. The furnace’s fan motor pushes the conditioned air into and through the ductwork and only runs when the HVAC system is running.

Fan-powered Humidifier:

This type of humidifier uses a water panel that increases the level of humidity and operates with its own fan. This humidifier can run when the HVAC system is off and does not require a bypass duct. For a home with limited space, this humidifier is well-suited.

Steam Humidifier:

This type of humidifier heats water, creating steam that circulates through the air ducts, adding moisture to the air. This humidifier is an efficient and fast working humidifier that can work without the HVAC system.

Portable humidifiers do not require dedicated plumbing connections and work independently of the HVAC system. Portable humidifiers are available in several makes, models, and types, each having advantages and disadvantages. Get acknowledge with all types and choose the one that will best fit your personal needs. The four types of portable humidifiers are:
