How Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers Operate

It can be more difficult to keep indoor moisture levels in check if your local climate is particularly humid or dry. In addition, the process of both heating and air conditioning can have an impact on how much humidity is in the air. Whole-house humidity control equipment reverses the consequences of these outside forces. The operation of humidifiers and dehumidifiers are relatively similar, with the main deviation being where the moisture is sent.

When using humidifiers, water evaporates via warm air before it enters the HVAC system. Dehumidifiers operate in reverse, cooling humid air so it converts back into liquid moisture. Both humidifiers and dehumidifiers are fixed to your HVAC system’s ventilation so that it evenly balances moisture across your home or commercial property. It comes with a plumbing connection so that it has instant access to water or drainage.

Whole-house humidifiers are connected to the property’s water main for a constant supply of water it can evaporate for humidity. Several designs use the furnace’s blower motor while others rely on their own fan system to evaporate condensed moisture.

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

Dehumidifiers
