whole home Humidifier solutions
There are three primary types of whole-house humidifiers: steam, bypass, and fan-powered. The seasoned professionals at Legacy Precision HVAC, with extensive experience and factory training, provide well-informed and practical recommendations to help you choose the most suitable option for your specific needs.
Steam Humidifiers
Steam humidifiers introduce moisture into the air by electrically heating water until it boils, producing steam. This steam is then circulated throughout your home via vents, independent of your furnace’s operation. Steam humidifiers are not only the quickest but also the most natural way to optimize and maintain comfortable humidity levels.Fan-Powered Humidifiers
Similar to bypass humidifiers, fan-powered humidifiers include a fan to blow air across the internal pad (water panel). These humidifiers outperform their bypass counterparts by averaging a gallon more of humidity daily. They draw minimal electricity, equivalent to the cost of a 25-watt light bulb, and don’t require a bypass duct, making them ideal for installation in confined spaces.
Bypass Humidifiers
Bypass humidifiers supplement moisture to the warm air produced by a furnace. Warm air is drawn from the heating ducts, flows through a water panel, absorbs moisture, and reintroduces it into the air stream and your home. Easily installed in a forced air handling system on the supply or return plenum, bypass humidifiers are a practical choice for maintaining optimal humidity levels.Our Commitment to Your Well-being

On average, home humidity often drops to 10% or less, far below the optimum level of 30% to 50% recommended by the Mayo Clinic. Properly humidified air slows the body’s natural cooling mechanism, providing a sensation of warmth at lower temperatures and potentially reducing the need to adjust the thermostat, thereby saving on energy costs without compromising comfort.
Low humidity levels
There is evidenced of winter carpet shocks and static electricity, may seem minor inconveniences, but they signal potential health risks.
