Humidifier Installation

How Whole House Humidifiers Work

A humidifier is an essential part of any heating and air conditioning system, designed to improve air quality and help maintain the health and comfort of your family. Whole house humidifiers are designed to add moisture to the air and help prevent dryness, which can lead to health issues such as dry skin, chapped lips, and respiratory problems. These systems work by adding water vapor into the air, increasing relative humidity levels in the process.

Whole house humidifiers are installed directly into your heating and air conditioning system and work by delivering water vapor through the ductwork. The unit is installed alongside the HVAC system and is connected to the plumbing system for water supply and drainage. As the air passes through, the humidifier will release moisture into the air, which will then be distributed throughout your home by the HVAC system.

Types of Whole House Humidifiers

Goff Heating & Air Conditioning offers three types of whole house humidifiers: bypass, fan-powered, and steam.

Bypass Humidifiers

Bypass humidifiers are installed on a bypass duct that is connected to your HVAC system. These humidifiers do not have a dedicated fan; instead, they use the HVAC system’s blower to circulate air through the humidifier. As such, they only operate when the heating or cooling system is running. Bypass humidifiers are the most popular type of whole house humidifier because they are less expensive than other types of humidifiers.

Fan-Powered Humidifiers

Fan-powered humidifiers are similar to bypass humidifiers, but they use a dedicated fan to blow air over the water panel so they do not require installation of a bypass duct. Because they have their own fans, fan-powered humidifiers can operate even when the HVAC system is not cycling. This also makes them more energy-efficient to operate than bypass humidifiers, but they are more expensive to purchase.

Steam Humidifiers

Steam humidifiers are the most efficient type of whole house humidifier. They work by heating water to create steam, which is then dispersed into the air ducts and into your home. Steam humidifiers are the best choice for homeowners who live in extremely dry conditions or have larger homes. However, they are more expensive than other types of humidifiers.
