How Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers Function

It can be harder to keep indoor moisture levels in check if the local climate is notably humid or arid. Additionally, the process of both heating and air conditioning can further affect how much humidity is floating around. Whole-house humidity control equipment reverses the consequences of these outside influences. The design of humidifiers and dehumidifiers are relatively similar, with the principal difference being where the moisture is sent.

For humidifiers, water evaporates via warm air before it enters your HVAC system. Dehumidifiers work in reverse, cooling moist air until it condenses into water. Both humidifiers and dehumidifiers are installed near the HVAC system’s air ducts so that it evenly balances moisture across your home or commercial property. It also includes a plumbing connection so that it has easy access to water or drainage.

Whole-house humidifiers are connected to the property’s water lines for a continual supply of water it can evaporate for humidity. A few designs take advantage of the furnace’s blower motor while others feature their own fan system to evaporate condensed moisture.

A dehumidifier will instead feature a condensate drain system to make sure condensed moisture is properly expelled. It might be stored in a reservoir tank or flush right into your sump pump or sewer line. When moisture is stored in a tank, it should be regularly emptied.

What Are the Advantages of Installing a Humidifier/Dehumidifier?

According to what type of humidity control system you will need, a quality whole-house system can serve up many different benefits to your indoor air quality, like:

Humidifiers

  • Protects belongings from drying out: Introducing moisture into dry air can have a positive effect on everything indoors, not just yourself. As an example, it helps keep wood furniture, cabinetry and flooring from drying out, which can result in splitting or cracking.
  • Alleviates allergy symptoms and skin irritation: Low humidity can exacerbate coughing and sneezing along with rashes and other skin conditions. Humidifiers create steady relief to those dealing with skin or sinus issues.
  • Lowers risk of various illnesses: Sufficient moisture in the air can help keep people breathing easy by keeping their nasal passages from drying out. Dry, inflamed sinuses aren’t as effective at keeping illness-causing bacteria and viruses at bay.

Dehumidifiers

  • Eliminates conditions for mold/mildew spread: Hot, humid air is a conducive environment for a number of microorganisms and even pests. Adding a whole-house dehumidifier helps keep mold, mildew and dust mites from taking root in the hidden corners of your property. For extra support dealing with microbes, consider a UV Germicidal light.
  • Inhibits wood rot and water damage: Moist air can wreak havoc on a wide range of materials inside, like wood furniture and flooring as well as paint. They are more likely to warp or rot from the inside because of excessive moisture.
  • Minimizes musty odors: Once mold and rot take hold indoors, they can produce bad odors that are difficult to get rid of. Proper humidity keeps your indoor air smelling clean and fresh.
