Transform the comfort of your home with whole-house humidifiers from Fly Plumbing & HVAC. Enhance indoor air quality and maintain optimal humidity levels throughout your living spaces in Wheeling, IL, and across Chicagoland.
A whole-house humidifier is a humidifier system integrated into your HVAC system designed to add moisture to the air throughout your entire home. Unlike portable humidifiers that only treat one room, whole-home humidifiers are built into your HVAC system and distribute moisture evenly to ensure consistent humidity levels across all rooms.
A regular humidifier, typically a portable unit, works by adding moisture to the air in a single room. It usually contains a reservoir of water evaporated into the air using a wick filter, ultrasonic vibration, or a fan that blows air through a moistened pad. These devices need to be refilled frequently and are best suited for small areas.
In contrast, a whole-house humidifier is integrated directly into your home's HVAC system. It works by drawing air from your HVAC system's return ducts and passing it through a water panel or rotating drum inside the humidifier. The air absorbs moisture from the water panel, which is then evenly distributed throughout your home via the ductwork. This process helps maintain consistent humidity levels across all rooms, providing a more comfortable living environment and mitigating issues associated with dry air.
