How to Find the Best Humidifier for Your Home
When first entering the market for a humidifier, you may be wondering how to find the best humidifier out of the seemingly endless choices. There are some important factors to consider to help you narrow down the options:
- Type – There are two different types of humidifiers, which include single-room humidifiers and whole-home humidifiers. The best humidifier for overall efficiency and quality would be the whole-home humidifier. This humidifier increases the humidity level of your entire home, which creates many benefits including the health benefits of alleviating dry skin and asthma. The best humidifier if portability and price are your main concern would be the single-room. This humidifier increases the humidity level of one room, which is perfect if you or one of your children is suffering from breathing problems and/or sleep apnea.
- Maintenance – Some people think that they have found the best humidifier until they realize the large amount of maintenance a unit may need in order to run properly. Be sure to educate yourself on the required maintenance of the humidifier you are selecting to be sure it is the best humidifier for you. Whole-home humidifiers typically need to be cleaned annually, while single-room humidifiers may need weekly cleaning.
- Sizing – Whether you are considering a whole-home humidifier or a single room unit, there are many different sizes to consider. Be sure to evaluate the square footage of a room or your entire house and compare this to the recommended square footage for the unit you are considering. This will help ensure you have the best humidifier that can work efficiently and effectively in a given space.
