Ontario winters drop indoor humidity to 15-20% - uncomfortable, hard on skin, damaging to wood floors and furniture, and a static-shock factory. Whole-house humidifiers integrate with your furnace ductwork to maintain a healthy 30-45% indoor humidity automatically.
Three types of whole-home humidifiers
Choose based on home size and water hardness:
Bypass: budget option, uses furnace blower to circulate humid air. Good for 1,500-2,500 sq ft.
Fan-powered: built-in fan, works independently of furnace blower. Better for 2,000-3,500 sq ft.
Steam: highest output, best for large or leaky homes. Up to 5,000+ sq ft. More expensive but works at any outdoor temp.
