Humidifier Guide - Choosing The Best Furnace Humidifier For Your Home
By Jackie LoBuglio (JD Supply HVAC Furnace Humidifier & Dehumidifier Outlet)
´Whole House´ Residential Furnace Humidifiers are a cost-effective way to improve your lifestyle, ensuring correct humidity levels within your home, year round. This article will help you understand the various Humidifier types available:
6. Humidifiers, Furnace Humidifiers, & Dehumidifers
Humidifiers and Furnace Humidifiers are used to add water content into to your household air (increasing relative humidity), whereas Dehumidifiers are used to decrease the moisture content in your household air (decreasing relative humidity).
Learn about Humidifiers & Furnace Humidifiers below. More About Dehumidifiers
6.1. Humidifier Types
Insufficient humidity in your household air can make for an uncomfortable indoor environment. Air in your home that is too dry can give rise to breathing difficulty, and can damage wood products like flooring, pianos, picture frames, and cabinetry. There are 2 potential solutions to this problem:
6.1.1. Portable Humidifiers
Portable Humidifiers can be bought for local service in a specific room. However, in our experience, portable humidifier units tend to be ineffective and an inefficient way to treat this problem, so we cannot recommend them as a long-term solution.
6.1.2. ´Whole House´ Humidifiers & Furnace Humidifiers
A ´Whole House´ Humidifier or Furnace Humidifer can be installed in your home´s central HVAC system, where it will automatically, effectively, and efficiently work to provide the right amount of moisture in all rooms throughout your home, for increased comfort and energy savings.
Whole-House Furnace Humidifiers mount directly to your furnace, and work with your heating and cooling system to distribute moisture throughout your entire home. Accordingly, their installation involves working with ductwork to provide humidification into the HVAC airflow. You will need to cut sheet metal on the furnace to mount the humidifier unit and/or cut ductwork on the supply or return ducts. Installation also requires wiring of electrical power to the humidifier unit and it´s controller (Humidistat).
There are 4 basic types of ´Whole House´ Humidifiers available:
Fan Powered Type ´Flow-Through´ Furnace Humidifiers
Bypass Type ´Flow-Through´ Furnace Humidifiers.
Rotating Drum Type ´Flow-Through´ Furnace Humidifiers
Steam Type Humidifiers
Flow-Through Furnace Humidifiers are currently the most popular configuration for residential Whole House Furnace Humidifier applications.
|
A Fan Powered Flow-Through Furnace Humidifier has a built-in fan to draw airflow into the humidifier unit and across a wet pad where it picks up moisture. The humidifier unit mounts right onto your furnace, and no bypass ductwork is required - making installation easier than for bypass flow-through humidifiers. An example of this furnace humidifier type is the Honeywell Model HE365A Whole House Powered Flow-Through Furnace Humidifier.
|
|
A Bypass Flow-Through Furnace Humidifier connects to a bypass off the supply or return air flow, in order to create pressure that draws the airflow into the humidifier and through a moisturized pad. The result is an even distribution of humidity in the air throughout your home. Examples of this type of furnace humidifier unit are the Honeywell Model HE265A and HE225A Whole House Bypass Flow-Through Furnace Humidifiers. These flow-through humidifiers are very effective, however they are not the most water efficient (typically using about 3.9 gallons of water per hour).
|
|
Drum Type Flow-Through Furnace Humidifiers are 100% water efficient, typically using only 0.6 gallons of water per hour. Further benefits of a Drum type furnace humidifier are:
Humidifier operation is independent of the heating cycle
Ideal for heat pump applications
No replacement humidifier pads or filters are needed
Non absorbing discs minimize bacterial risk
Efficient humidification with very low energy consumption
|
|
Steam Humidifiers evaporate water and inject the resulting steam into the air. Their main advantage is that they are able to operate independently from your furnace - so that you do not need to turn the furnace on to add some moisture into your air. Steam Humidifiers are a great solution for larger homes in dry climates with mild winters. Models such as the Honeywell HE420A1009 offer humidification independent of furnace operation, allowing for more consistent humidity comfort levels.

Water Efficient Humidifiers For Cleaner Air & Healthier Environments
Some manufacturers are gearing their humidifier product lines toward environmentally friendly or "Green" products that show lower water useage than most conventional humidifiers.
The new Water SaverTM Humidifier, from Best Air Pro, has been designed to use up to 70% less water than standard drain type bypass furnace humidifiers, which can waste between 5-8 gallons per hour down the drain.
|
|
The Green Model 3200 Flow-Through By-Pass Furnace Humidifier, from RPS Products, has an output capacity of 0.82 gallons per hour. This unique design is easy to install and has a snap lock cover for quick maintenance. The Model 3200 Humidifier is constructed of durable fiberglass, which resists rust, corrosion and warping. Combined with patented White Water Pads, the Green Model 3200 Furnace Humidifier substantially reduces overall water and power consumption.
|
|
The RPS Products Green Model 2500 Flow-Through Furnace Humidifier has an output capacity of 0.75 gallons per hour. With a patented air diverter, which eliminates the need for a bypass, this revolutionary furnace humidifier design significantly reduces water consumption while delivering the perfect amount of moisture into your home.
