We sat down with Jeff Chapman and asked him to fill us in on whole home humidifiers. We wanted to know what the benefits of adding a humidifier to the home would be and what makes a whole home humidifier so special. Listen to the clip to learn more from Jeff.

Humidifiers are for more than keeping the house comfortable, they provide health benefits, structural benefits and added home comfort. Whole home humidifiers spread the benefits to every room of the house, not just one.

Scott Smith is the Assistant Service Manager here at Chapman; he takes care of any questions our technicians might have and problems in the field. Scott has years of experience in heating and cooling and often lends his expertise to other technicians. This month we got to know Scott a little better and learned a lot about the benefits of a humidifier.

Scott began working in the industry in his father's heating and cooling company. He has been sharpening his skills ever since. Now, 20 years later, he is an expert in everything heating and cooling and an invaluable asset to the Chapman team.

When asked what brought him to work at Chapman, he explained, I'd known of Chapman for a while and knew about their reputation in the industry. When I had a chance to join, I grabbed it.

Scott has been with Chapman for about a year. When he isn't working, Scott likes spending time with his children and enjoying the great outdoors. An avid hunter and fisher, one of Scott's favorite way to relax is out in nature. All month long we're talking about humidifiers and with 20 years of experience, there was no one better to ask than Scott.

We asked why it was important to have a humidifier in the first place. He explained that humidifiers are good for more than just comfort. Health and comfort are the two most common reasons people invest in a humidifier, but there are many reasons it's a good idea to have one. Humidifiers help keep the wood in the home from drying out and splitting, it will cut down on the static electricity in the home and help you to run the heater less which reduces your energy costs.

That all sounds great, but how do you know what type of humidifier you need for the home? The whole house humidifier is better than a standalone unit for proper humidification throughout the entire home. Whole home units disperse the humidity evenly and therefore, don't have to work as hard to make the entire home comfortable. Standalone humidifiers don't disperse the humidity evenly and will usually only humidify one room.

The other biggest difference between whole home and stand-alone humidifiers is the addition of water. Whole home humidifiers automatically refill and use the appropriate amount of water, standalone units must be refilled and depend on you to keep them working properly.

When asked how long a whole home humidifier will last, Scott explained that it depends on the type of unit and how you treat it. With proper installation and maintenance, you can enjoy your humidifier for a long time.

This winter has been mild so far, but we still have a long way to go before we're through the cold season. As the temperature drops lower, people crank the heater to stay toasty warm on cold, dark nights. Warm air is great for a cozy nights' sleep, but when the air heats up it loses moisture and dries your skin and your house, a humidifier is the best way to add moisture back into the air.

Why do I need a humidifier?

Humidifiers prevent common winter annoyances like dry skin, nosebleeds and sometimes even reduce snoring. Adding moisture to the home helps keep your furniture and floors from drying out as well.

What does a humidifier do?

Humidifiers add moisture to keep the air at an ideal temperature and comfort level. Whole home humidifiers do the work for you and add the correct amount of water vapor to the air to keep your home from feeling dry and stuffy

What kind do I need?

There is a variety of models, specific to different needs. When you're ready to add a humidifier to your home give Chapman a call and we will match you with the right humidifier for you.

Whole home humidifiers attach directly to your HVAC system. They run through your air duct system and deliver humidity to your home evenly. When properly maintained, these units will last a while and are a great addition to the overall health and comfort of your home.

A humidifier is your best option for avoiding static, sore throats, and dry skin. And because humidified air feels more comfortable, you can enjoy comfort at cooler temperature settings to help save energy and money over the winter.
