Keep Moisture in the Air With a Furnace Humidifier

When it gets cold outside, many people dread the turning on of their furnaces only because of the dry heated air that is blown into their atmosphere. There are many people that love the feeling of the warm heat but cannot stand the dryness that it creates. Many of them have found that the best way to cure this problem is by investing in a Furnace Humidifier. These humidifiers can be mounted onto the existing furnace and there are basically two types. These types include the flow-through type or the reservoir type. Worry about the wetness and bacteria growing has made the flow-through type the most popular since this does not occur.

Consumers can find that there are more than 120 different brands of the Furnace Humidifier units to choose from. Among the top brand names include Bemis, Bionaire, Honeywell, Aprilaire, Duracraft, and Holmes. Understanding humidity and how it affects your surrounding air needs to be understood before you start trying to purchase a humidifier. This type of moisture can not only damage the items that you have in your house but can also damage your body if the air that you breathe is too wet.

When purchasing a Furnace Humidifier, you need to make sure that it has a humidity meter on it so that you can keep track of the humidity levels in your home. These levels should always be in the 30 to 50 percent range in order to be normal. Most of the brands that you will find will have this meter for this information. You can use the Internet as a great resource in order to compare the different brands that are available as well as their prices. A very popular model is Model 700 from Aprilaire. This model is beneficial because it is a whole house humidifier and has automatic control so the homeowner rarely has to bother with it.

The Model 700 covers up to a 4,200 square foot area and can deliver around 50 percent more moisture to an area then many of the other brands on the market. Aprilaire also supplies many other Furnace Humidifier models that can be used in smaller areas as well. Lennox is a very well known and trusted name that carries the Healthy Climate WB12 humidifier. This unit can cost around $109.99, which is a really good bargain for having moisture in the air along with your comfortable heat.
