How Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers Function
It can be difficult to maintain comfortable humidity levels if the local climate is especially humid or arid. What’s more, your own HVAC system can further affect how much moisture is in the air. Whole-house humidity control systems reverse the effects of these outside influences. The operation of humidifiers and dehumidifiers are fairly similar, with the key difference being where the moisture is sent.
With humidifiers, water is evaporated by warm air just before it reaches the HVAC system. Dehumidifiers operate in reverse, cooling moist air until it condenses into water. Both humidifiers and dehumidifiers are installed near your HVAC system’s ductwork so that it evenly balances moisture across your home or commercial property. It comes with a plumbing connection so that it has easy access to water or drainage.
Whole-house humidifiers are usually hooked up to the property’s plumbing system for a steady supply of water it can use as humidity. Several designs make use of the furnace’s blower motor while others rely on their own fan system for evaporation.
Alternatively, a dehumidifier features a condensate drain system to make sure removed moisture is properly expelled. It may be kept in a reservoir tank or drain 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?
Based on what type of humidity control system you may need, a quality whole-house system can provide many different benefits to your sense of comfort, like:
Humidifiers
- Keeps belongings from drying out: Releasing moisture into dry air can have a positive effect on everything indoors, not just yourself. As an example, it helps prevent wood furniture, cabinetry and flooring from drying out, which may cause splitting or cracking.
- Alleviates allergies and skin irritation: Arid conditions can worsen coughing and sneezing along with rashes and other skin conditions. Humidifiers create regular relief to anyone experiencing skin or sinus issues.
- Lessens risk of various illnesses: Adequate moisture in the air can help keep people breathing easy by keeping their nasal passages from drying out. Dry, inflamed sinuses won’t be as capable of 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 growing in the hidden corners of the property. For added support eliminating microbes, try a UV Germicidal light.
- Inhibits wood rot and water damage: Humid air can ruin a wide range of materials indoors, including wood furniture and flooring or even paint. They are more likely to warp or rot from within because of excess moisture.
- Clears out musty odors: Once mold and rot are growing indoors, it can lead to unpleasant odors that are hard to eliminate. Balanced humidity keeps your indoor air smelling clean and fresh.
