Humidifiers
Do I need a humidifier on my furnace?
If winter brings dry skin, static shocks, cracking wood or a scratchy throat, a whole-home humidifier can help. It mounts on the furnace or its ductwork and adds moisture to the air as the heat runs. Elite Home Services installs and services humidifiers across Mountain View County.
Cold outdoor air holds very little moisture, so once it is heated indoors the relative humidity drops. A furnace humidifier works with the system you already have, so the whole house benefits instead of a single room.
Too much humidity causes problems of its own. Heavy condensation or frost on the inside of the windows is a sign the level is too high for the outdoor temperature, which is why humidifiers are set lower as it gets colder.
