Benefits of Whole-House Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers

One of the biggest benefits that whole-house humidifiers and dehumidifiers provide is complete control over how humidity impacts your health and comfort at home. As their names suggest, humidifiers work to produce more moisture in the air while dehumidifiers create a drier environment. Each comes with separate benefits and will affect homeowners differently:

Humidifiers	Dehumidifiers
Higher humidity levels have been linked to influenza prevention	Drier environments prevent mold and mildew from growing in your home
Increased moisture in the air leads to more productive coughing and quicker recovery	Removing excess humidity can remove musty odors from the home
Moister air lubricates sinuses and air passages better, leading to decreased snoring. Especially in the winter, humidifiers can keep hair and skin hydrated to prevent cracking and breakage	Dust mite allergy symptoms can be relieved since drier environments lead to decreased multiplication
Asthmatic or allergy-prone individuals can get symptom relief through humidifiers	Through removing humidity from the air, dehumidifiers can do a lot to aid in air purification in your home
Humid air feels warmer, allowing homeowners to save money on energy costs — especially during the winter	Dehumidifiers decrease condensation in the air, which can help prevent peeling wallpaper, wood shrinkage, and steaming windows or mirrors
Houseplants, hardwood floors, and furniture have been shown to last longer in more humid environments

Whether or not your home requires humidity control through a humidifier or dehumidifier can be challenging to assess on your own. If you’re unsure about whether or not your home needs a humidifier or dehumidifier, contact the Total Comfort team for the expert guidance you need!
