Humidification
Humidifiers add needed moisture to your home to help improve your indoor air quality and prevent respiratory irritation. Many people use a humidifier during the winter season, but there are many benefits of having a humidification system for your entire home. Installing one of these systems and using it throughout the year can enhance your home’s comfort and moisture levels.
TriForce HVAC offers humidification systems for homes of all sizes. Our systems and maintenance services can help you breathe easier, live comfortably, and stay healthy. If you have humidity concerns, working with a professional HVAC team can help.
The Need For Industrial Humidifier Systems
As mentioned above, humidification systems provide additional moisture particles to your indoor air, reducing the risk of respiratory irritation, colds, or sinus infections. Dry air causes discomfort, especially during the colder months, so adding a humidification system to your existing HVAC setup can complement the work your furnace or air conditioner is already doing.

Common Humidifier Options
Before contacting your HVAC team, it can be helpful to understand the different types of humidification systems available. While most of us have seen a portable humidifier, these HVAC-integrated systems provide better humidity for more than a single room.
Not all large systems will work for your home, depending on the size and the type of HVAC system you currently have. Below are some of the common humidification systems you can add to your home.
Bypass Humidifiers
These humidification systems use the furnace to help push air through a water panel, putting moisture molecules into the air. Since your furnace is already putting hot air into the home, adding moisture as it works its way through the ducts is a great option for homes of all sizes.
Fan-Powered
These systems use their own fan and mechanisms to move air through a water panel. Adding moisture to the air before distributing through the ductwork can cause some of the particles to be lost, but these systems allow you to have more control over when the moisture is added and how much is pushed into your air. Humidity is a balancing act, especially in an enclosed area.
Steam Humidifiers
Boiling water creates steam, which can be used to add moisture to a space or kill bacteria. Steam humidifiers can help keep your home clean and safe, using hot water or mist to help.
Preservation Of Valuables
Poor indoor air that is filled with allergens or mold spores can cause damage to your home. Fragile items like wood, paper, and electronics are all susceptible to damage from temperature fluctuations or mold. Humidifiers can help maintain a balance of temperature and humidity to keep your valuables from damage. Furniture pieces, artwork, and books will all last longer when you have the right balance of humidity inside your home.
Health Benefits
The biggest reason to install a whole-home humidification system is the benefits it can provide to your health. Low humidity can take a toll on the health of immunocompromised individuals or those who are sick during the winter. Dry states and desert climates like Utah will also suffer from dry skin, irritated eyes, and coughing if the humidity is too low. Maintaining your humidity levels inside the home during the winter can help you ensure optimal health. It is recommended that your interior humidity be between 30% and 50%, no matter the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
You Have Questions, We Have Answers
Yes! Many humidification systems are attached inside or near your furnace to add moisture to the air before it enters your home. If you already have an HVAC system installed in your home, you can easily install a humidifier without compromising your energy efficiency or spending money on an entirely new system.
Just like any other appliance or HVAC system, humidifiers may need annual cleaning and check-ups. Preventing excessive buildup of scale and biofilm will also be done during annual maintenance. These services can also help catch potential problems before they turn into damage that will require system replacement. If you want to avoid costly repairs or replacement, you should stick to yearly maintenance.
Tap water can cause mineral buildup inside your humidifier that can harbor microbes. Using distilled water is often recommended if you want to limit the amount of maintenance needed for your system. Especially in places where there is hard water, using distilled water for the whole humidification system is necessary for the long term operation of the machine.
