How Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers Function

It can be difficult to maintain comfortable humidity levels if the local climate is particularly humid or arid. In addition, heating and cooling cycles can also influence how much humidity is floating around. Whole-house humidity control equipment reverses the impact of these outside forces. The design of humidifiers and dehumidifiers are somewhat similar, with the key distinction being where the moisture is going.

When using humidifiers, water evaporates via warm air prior to entering the HVAC system. Dehumidifiers function in reverse, cooling moist air until it condenses into water. Both humidifiers and dehumidifiers are placed against the HVAC system’s ductwork so that it evenly distributes moisture across your home or commercial property. It also includes a plumbing connection so that it can quickly access water or drainage.

Whole-house humidifiers are usually hooked up to the property’s water lines for a constant supply of water it can use as humidity. Some designs make use of the furnace’s blower motor while others use their own fan system for evaporation.

A dehumidifier will instead feature a condensate drainage system to see to it that condensed moisture is fully expelled. It might be sent to a reservoir tank or flow straight into your sump pump or sewer line. In case it’s moisture is stored in a tank, it has to be routinely emptied.
