What Is a Whole-House Humidifier?
Whole-house humidifiers are connected to your home’s duct system. When you turn it on, it adds moisture to the air within your home. This can provide relief from the dry winter air, as well as the hot and dry air that your home’s heating system can produce.

Humidifier & Dehumidifier FAQs
How is indoor air quality tested?
Our teams use specialized equipment to sample the air within your home. We can identify a wide range of indoor air pollutants, including VOCs, cleaning chemicals, toxins, and more. The process takes one to three hours, depending on the size of the home and the tests we need to perform.
What types of whole-house humidifiers are available?
- Drum humidifiers rotate a belt through water, evaporating from the belt into the air within your return air duct.Â
- Flow-through humidifiers use an evaporator pad sprayed with a continuous stream of water that evaporates the air into the return air duct.Â
- Steam humidifiers use an electric current to heat and evaporate the water.
How are humidifiers controlled?
A humidistat controls each type of humidifier. Humidistats monitor the indoor air humidity and allows you to adjust it using simple, easy-to-understand controls and directions. It functions much like a thermostat and is typically placed right beside the humidifier unit.
Do I really need a whole-house dehumidifier?
Many clients think that portable, in-room dehumidifiers are sufficient. While these can help improve air quality within a single room, open doors, air conditioning systems, and open windows can diminish their effectiveness. Conversely, a whole-house dehumidifier ensures the air throughout the home is consistent.
How do whole-house dehumidifiers work?
Dehumidifier systems operate by filtering and cooling the air within your home. This converts humidity into condensation. As the water is collected, it is dumped into a reservoir or flushed into your drainage system.
How long does it take to dehumidify a home?
It usually takes around 12 hours to dehumidify an entire home. Typically, it takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to dehumidify 50 cubic feet of air within the standard New Jersey home.
