Types of Humidifiers You Can Install in Your Home

When looking for a humidifier to install in your house, there are numerous types you can choose from. Let DiBiase Heating and Cooling Company give you expert assistance in selecting the right kind for your home.

Some of the most common types include:

• Bypass Humidifier: This whole-house system is installed as part of the home’s HVAC system. It adds moisture to the air, especially during the winter when the air can be drier.
• Power Humidifier: Similar to a bypass humidifier, this unit also has a power humidifier fan that pushes air across the water panel to produce more humidity.
• Steam Humidifier: Designed to use steam to boil reverse osmosis or deionized water, this creates steam that is toxin-free.
• Evaporated Humidifier: These use a wick filter to absorb water. A fan blows the air through the moistened filter, evaporating water into the air.
• Whole-House Humidifier: A humidifier that is integrated into the HVAC system to provide humidity to the whole house.

Common Problems With Humidifiers

Occasionally, your humidifier might encounter an issue that requires professional repairs. One of the most common issues our technicians encounter in Chester County and Delaware County is if the system isn’t producing the right amount of moisture for your house.

Another frequent problem is if the water inlet is clogged with minerals. Blocked drains and leaks can also develop. If you notice these problems, call our DiBiase Heating and Cooling Company technicians to schedule humidifier repair services.

Maintenance Tasks for Humidifiers

To keep your humidifier working correctly, it’s essential to perform regular maintenance. Some tasks our professionals at DiBiase Heating and Cooling Company recommend are:

• Clean your unit regularly to prevent the buildup of mineral deposits, mold, and bacteria.
• Check the filter regularly and clean or replace it as the manufacturer recommends. Filters can become clogged with mineral deposits or accumulate mold and bacteria over time, so proper maintenance is vital for optimal performance and air quality.
• Use distilled or demineralized water to minimize mineral buildup and white dust.
• If you use a humidifier seasonally, such as during winter, properly store and maintain the unit when not in use. Thoroughly clean and dry the humidifier before storing it to prevent the growth of mold or bacteria.
• Schedule periodic professional maintenance for your system to ensure the unit operates at its best.
