Is There a Whole-House Humidifier?

Whole-House Humidifier Installation
Once you've chosen the type of humidifier for you home, it's time to start thinking about installation. To start with, check to make sure that the area where you plan to install your humidifier never drops below freezing during wintertime. A/C units and furnaces are often installed in basements and attics, meaning there is the possibility (especially in the attic) that the mercury could drop below freezing during winter months. Freezing temperatures and humidifiers don't mix because freezing water causes seals, pipes, and joints to fail. Other than checking against low temperatures, it's also important that you buy the correct sized unit for your home. That means figuring out the cubic footage of your home (length x width x height), and then looking for a whole-house humidifier that meets those needs.

Call a Contractor
Your best bet for proper installation and sizing is to contact an HVAC contractor about coming in to do the work for you. They'll be able to determine how large of unit you'll need, which model will work best for you, and where it's best to install it.
