How Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers Work
It can be harder to keep indoor moisture levels in check if the local climate is particularly humid or dry. In addition, your own HVAC system can further affect how much humidity is floating around. Whole-house humidity control equipment reverses the effects of these outside factors. The core functionality of humidifiers and dehumidifiers are fairly similar, with the principal difference being where the moisture is going.
When using humidifiers, water evaporates via warm air before it enters the HVAC system. Dehumidifiers operate in reverse, cooling humid air until it condenses into water. Both humidifiers and dehumidifiers are placed against your HVAC system’s air ducts so that it evenly balances moisture throughout your home or commercial property. It also includes a plumbing connection so that it has direct access to water or drainage.
Whole-house humidifiers are connected to the property’s water main for a constant supply of water it can convert into humidity. Certain designs take advantage of the furnace’s blower motor while others rely on their own fan system to evaporate condensed moisture.
Conversely, dehumidifiers include a condensate drain system to ensure condensed moisture is fully expelled. It could be kept in a reservoir tank or flush straight into your sump pump or sewer line. If draining into a tank, it should be routinely emptied.

What Are the Benefits of a Humidifier/Dehumidifier?
According to what kind of humidity control system you may need, a reputable whole-house system can offer multiple benefits to your sense of comfort, like:
Humidifiers
- Prevents belongings from drying out: Introducing moisture into dry air benefits everything indoors, not just yourself. For example, it helps keep wood furniture, cabinetry and flooring from drying out, which may cause splitting or cracking.
- Alleviates allergy symptoms and skin irritation: Arid conditions can aggravate coughing and sneezing along with rashes and similar skin allergies. Humidifiers offer steady relief to anyone experiencing skin or sinus issues.
- Lowers risk of various illnesses: Ample humidity levels can help keep people breathing easy by keeping their nasal passages from drying out. Dry, irritated sinuses won’t be as capable of keeping illness-causing bacteria and viruses at bay.
Dehumidifiers
- Discourages the conditions for mold/mildew spores: Hot, humid air is an ideal environment for a number of microorganisms or pests. Adding a whole-house dehumidifier helps keep mold, mildew and dust mites from settling down in the hidden corners of the property. For added support dealing with microbes, install a UV Germicidal light.
- Stops wood rot and water damage: Humid air can wreak havoc on an assortment 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 are growing indoors, they can emit bad odors that are hard to eradicate. Stabilized humidity keeps your indoor air smelling clean and fresh.
