Whole House Powered Humidifier Comfort And Energy Saving

With the winter season closing in fast many families have already started firing

up their heating systems, which keeps your family warm, but it also dries out the air in your home.

The average person breathes 3400 gallons (12,870 liters) of air each day and spends 90% of that day inside. The amount of time indoors increases during the cold winter months when staying indoors and warm far outweighs going out into the cold.

I am sure many of you have heard of single room, or personal humidifiers, well a whole-house powered humidifier is simply a larger, more complex version of a single-room humidifier. To work on an entire home a whole-house humidifier is typically hooked up to your homes central HVAC system. This allows the humidifying air to be moved throughout your home via vents

The most popular units that John C Flood installs are the powered humidifiers, which are typically attached to your HVACs main ventilation duct and requires both an electric and water line connection. Most powered whole-house systems push around 18 gallons of evaporated water into your home per day. These systems also incorporate special humidifier pads that contain an anti-microbial feature which helps inhibit the growth of molds, bacteria, fungus and algae on the pads.

For the home benefits include keeping valuable wood furniture from drying and cracking, valuable wooden picture frames from drying and warping, prevent wood floors from buckling and separating, and more.
