How Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers Function

It can be difficult to keep indoor moisture levels in check if your local climate is notably humid or dry. In addition, your own HVAC system can further affect how much humidity is floating around. Whole-house humidity control systems reverse the effects of these outside forces. The operation of humidifiers and dehumidifiers are fairly similar, with the main distinction being where the moisture is sent.

When using humidifiers, water evaporates via warm air before it enters your HVAC system. Dehumidifiers operate in reverse, cooling moist air so it converts back into liquid moisture. Both humidifiers and dehumidifiers are fixed to your HVAC system’s ventilation so that it stabilizes moisture through your home or commercial property. It contains 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 continual supply of water it can use as humidity. Certain designs make use of the furnace’s blower motor while others depend on their own fan system to evaporate condensed moisture.

Alternatively, a dehumidifier features a condensate drainage system to see to it that extracted moisture is fully expelled. It might be sent to a reservoir tank or flow right into your sump pump or sewer line. In case it’s draining into a tank, it will need to be routinely emptied.
