If you often suffer from a dry throat, itchy skin, and upper respiratory symptoms, there may not be enough moisture in the air in your home. Air humidifiers help resolve this issue, but it can be challenging to choose the right make and model. Aprilaire® automatic humidifiers from Absolute Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning are specially designed to meet a wide range of humidification challenges in many homes. Talk to your HVAC professional about these important considerations to help you make the right selection.

3 Considerations When Buying a Humidifier 

1. Moisture Control

If you live in an apartment or confined space, a large humidifier may oversaturate the air, which can cause moisture stains and promote mold and mildew growth. Choose a model designed for smaller homes that can be installed directly into your central heating and cooling system’s duct work. Manual humidifier controls help you regulate how much moisture is released into the air. 

2. Noise 

Like many other mechanical devices, some humidifiers are noisy during operation. This may prompt you to turn the unit off when you’re trying to sleep. However, this can throw off moisture regulation and cause the air to become too dry overnight. Aprilaire automatic humidifiers perform quietly and deliver optimum levels of humidity automatically.

3. Power

Larger homes will require powerful humidifiers to regulate moisture levels throughout the entire space. Talk to your HVAC company about a unit that uses a built-in fan to pull heat directly from your furnace to achieve regulated moisture levels across a wide area. Their team of trained technicians can expertly install the system and ensure it’s running properly.
