Humidification
Whole Home Humidifiers in Winnipeg
Proper humidity in your home is essential to your overall health. The air in your home is always trying to reach optimum saturation. Without proper humidification, especially during the winter months, the air steals moisture from people, pets, plants, furniture and wooden products. The opposite occurs in the summer where too much humidity can lead to mould, mildew and trigger other allergies. Proper humidity makes the air feel warmer and allows you to feel more comfortable. A whole-home humidifier can help keep your skin, nose, throat and wooden items from drying out, make the air feel warmer, and improve the air quality and comfort. Mr. Furnace Heating and Air Conditioning can help you pick the right humidifiers for your Winnipeg home.

How Does a Whole Home Humidifier Work?
Adding a whole home humidifier as part of your HVAC and air ducting system allows you to control the humidity of your entire home in one go. This means you won't have to buy portable units for each room of your house or be concerned about dumping water and dealing with the hassle of portable systems.
​
A whole-home humidifier distributes moist air throughout your home through the ducts. It has a pad and either a rotating drum or steaming system that increases moisture levels. It uses fresh and clean water and is thus a safe and sanitary option as it is plumbed into the water source in your home. The unit involves less maintenance than portable systems and only needs to be cleaned at the end of the winter season.

Types of Home Humidifiers
When it comes to home humidifiers, there are several types available, each with its own set of features and benefits. Understanding the differences between these types can help you choose the right one for your home:
​
Steam Humidifiers: These humidifiers boil water to create steam, which is then released into the air. Steam humidifiers are highly effective at adding moisture to the air quickly and can be especially useful in colder climates. However, they tend to use more energy than other types of humidifiers.
​
Evaporative Humidifiers: Evaporative humidifiers use a fan to blow air through a wet wick or filter, which causes the water to evaporate and humidify the air. These humidifiers are energy-efficient and can be effective in maintaining a comfortable level of humidity in your home.
​
Ultrasonic Humidifiers: Ultrasonic humidifiers use ultrasonic vibrations to create a fine mist of water droplets that are then released into the air. These humidifiers are quiet and energy-efficient, making them a popular choice for many homeowners. However, they can sometimes leave a white dust residue if not used with distilled water.
​
Impeller Humidifiers: Impeller humidifiers use a rotating disk to fling water into a diffuser, breaking it into tiny droplets that are then released into the air. These humidifiers are also quiet and can be a good option for adding moisture to the air in a child's room or nursery.
​
Whole House Humidifiers: Whole house humidifiers are installed directly into your home's HVAC system and humidify the air as it passes through the ducts. These humidifiers can be more expensive to install but are effective at maintaining a consistent level of humidity throughout your home.

Reasons to Invest in a Whole Home Humidifier
Whole home humidifiers offer a range of benefits. It is easy to use and maintain and effectively improves your home's air quality and comfort. The top reasons to install a humidifier system into the HVAC system in your home are to:
​
Protect your home furnishings
A lack of moisture in the air can damage household items. Wooden furniture, windows, and doors tend to warp and crack when exposed to low humidity. Lack of moisture can also affect your walls, ceilings and tiles, causing cracks.
​
Save on energy expenses
A humidifier makes the air a little warmer during the winter and helps you feel comfortable at lower indoor temperatures.
​
Improve overall health
Dry air is not only a breeding ground for bacteria and germs to grow and spread, but it can cause the mucus membranes in your nose and throat to become dry and crack. These can enter your bloodstream and make you sick. A humidifier increases the air's moisture levels, clears your sinuses, moisturizes your nasal passages, and improves your breathing, thus minimizing the risk of illness.
​
Help you look good
Dry air, especially in the winter, can wreck your hair, skin and nails, causing split ends, rough patches, and painful hangnails. Adding a whole-house humidifier can help make your skin look brighter, your hair less frizzy, and your nails nourished.
