Humidity Control Myths Debunked

2 minute read

Share

Dry air is a nuisance that can remove moisture from our skin, mouth, and nasal membranes,  increasing the chances of airborne viral transmission. To remedy these ailments people have tried anything and everything including adding a houseplant, putting a pan of water near a vent, and running a hot, steamy shower. I am sure you have walked into a few homes that have tried to DIY a humidity control solution too. While there are plenty of myths out there, there is no indication that any of them work long-term.

 

The only real solution is to install an AprilAire whole-home humidifier.

 

Whole-home Humidification

 

An AprilAire whole-home humidifier provides all-day relief from dry air and will help mitigate other dry air problems including the transmission of airborne viruses and bacteria, warping of wooden furnishings, and general discomfort. With its set of digital controls, homeowners can easily set and forget their home’s humidity to the optimal range as recommended by nationally renowned organizations including the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 

Benefits of an AprilAire whole-home humidifier

 

In addition, AprilAire whole-home humidifiers can help reduce energy costs. For every 4 percent increase in humidity, homeowners can reduce their thermostat by one degree. The unit is also set-up to operate during peak efficiency. Moreover, each humidifier comes equipped with a 5-year warranty and is designed and manufactured in the United States. There are also several types of AprilAire humidifiers available including steam humidifiers, bypass humidifiers, and ductless humidifiers.

Optimizing Indoor Air: The Role of Humidifiers in Energy-Efficient Homes

< 1 minute read

Share

Modern homes are built for maximum energy efficiency, reducing natural ventilation, and limiting the amount of dry outdoor air entering the home during the heating season. This has led to a misconception that humidifiers are unnecessary in newer homes. Research shows that without a humidifier, indoor humidity levels drop below what’s needed to maintain comfort and preserve the home. HVAC professionals play a key role in addressing this issue by recommending and installing humidifiers to ensure proper Indoor Air Quality and balanced moisture levels for customers.

The Growing Need for Better Indoor Air Quality

With 1 in 5 Americans suffering from asthma and allergies, Indoor Air Quality is a major concern. HVAC professionals play a key role in addressing this issue by recommending effective air filtration solutions.

 

Whole-Home Electronic Air Cleaners: A High-Performance Solution

Unlike standard mechanical filters, electronic air cleaners (EACs) use an electric charge to capture even the smallest airborne particles, providing superior filtration throughout the home. Installed within the HVAC system, they effectively remove allergens, dust, and other contaminants.

 

Why Recommend an Electronic Air Cleaner?

  • Higher Efficiency – EACs outperform traditional filters, especially for tiny airborne particles
  • Comprehensive Air Filtration – Integrated with the HVAC system, they clean air in every room
  • Ideal for Allergy & Asthma Sufferers – Helps reduce triggers like dust, pollen, and pet dander

 

While industry testing standards for EACs are still evolving, independent studies confirm their effectiveness. Offering whole-home electronic air cleaners gives contractors a high-value solution to improve IAQ and enhance customer satisfaction.

The Impact of Whole-Home Dehumidification on Indoor Comfort and Energy Efficiency

< 1 minute read

As an HVAC professional, you know that indoor humidity levels can impact not just occupant comfort and health but also the home itself. Too much moisture in the air can lead to mold, musty odors, and damage to wood floors and furnishings. Unfortunately, standard air conditioning (AC) systems provide limited humidity control—especially when they’re not actively cooling.

 

That’s where whole-house dehumidifiers come in. A recent study found that using a whole-house dehumidifier alongside AC can significantly improve humidity control and even help reduce energy usage. By keeping indoor moisture levels in check, your customers will feel more comfortable, prevent potential damage to their home, and may even save on their energy bills.
