How a Whole-Home Humidifier
or Dehumidifier Works

If your home shows signs of humidity problems, a whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier installed in your air duct can improve the indoor air quality of your home. You will also notice your home is healthier and more comfortable.

An in-duct humidifier or dehumidifier systems manage indoor humidity imbalances better than stand-alone units, which are not as efficient. Whole-home dehumidifiers and humidifiers work by treating the humidity in your air while your HVAC system is working. By working in concert, in-duct systems are better able to manage your home's humidity levels.
