Why treat just one room when you could improve the air in your entire home?
You've probably seen the TV commercials and heard the claims – you may have one, two, three or more in your home right now – in your basement, family room or bedrooms. But whether it's a portable air purifier, humidifier or dehumidifier, the truth is these units just don't work for anything other than temporary one-room relief. To treat the problem in multiple areas or throughout your entire home, you'd need to purchase a number of expensive, energy-wasting portable/room units.
A better solution to multiple units is a whole-home indoor air quality product. Attached to your central heating and cooling system, a whole-home humidifier provides superior relief in every room of your home.
Portable Disadvantages:
- Portables, otherwise known as tabletop or room units, only treat the air in the immediate vicinity of the unit.
- You need a separate unit for every room, area or level of your home.
- Portable units often require frequent cleaning and maintenance. Some units, if not properly maintained, may pose a health hazard to you and your family. This is often the case with portable humidifiers and dehumidifiers where standing water can pose a hazard due to biological contaminant growth.
- Portable units are often noisy and can be unattractive and obtrusive to your living space.
- Multiple portable units consume more energy than a single, whole-house solution.
Whole Home Humidifier Advantages:
- Whole-home products can treat every room of your home.
- Whole-home solutions require infrequent cleaning and maintenance and have no standing water and no buckets to clean or empty.
- Installed directly to your heating and cooling system, whole-home products are installed out-of-sight and away from living spaces and work silently and automatically.
