Humidifiers

Why humidify and which type of humidifier should you buy?

Increase your Relative Humidity Levels.

Humidification, simply put, is increasing the relative humidity - the amount of moisture in the air compared to how much moisture the air can hold.

More Moisture. Less Discomfort.

In winter, cold air holds less moisture. A Honeywell Humidifier can add moisture to the room air, making the room feel warmer and more comfortable. A humidifier offers an effective solution to counteract the effects of dry harsh winter air by adding essential moisture to any room. Soothe dry skin with added moisture so hands and lips are no longer dry.

Good for you and everything in your home.

Comfortable humidity helps purify the air and keep throat and nasal passages hydrated, which helps you breathe better and sleep more comfortably. Symptoms of dry air include curled leaves and dry leaf tips. Flower buds turn brown and fall off. Using a Honeywell Humidifier helps return moisture to the air promoting plant growth.

Why is there little or no mist coming from my humidifier?

If you do not think your humidifier is outputting moisture, please make sure that the unit is on a level surface so the float mechanism can function properly. Also, if your humidifier has not been cleaned recently, check to be sure the heating element is not covered in mineral buildup. You can find humidifier cleaning tips in the instruction manual. Lastly, confirm that there is enough water in the tank for the humidifier to function properly. Please note: some humidifiers take a minute or longer to heat up before mist can be seen.

What filters should I use and how often do i need to replace them?

Humidifiers that need filters to run efficiently should only use Genuine Honeywell humidifier filter replacements. You may find the replacement humidifier filters here. Filters should be replaced every 30-90 days based on use and water quality.

Where to place & how to use your humidifier

Having the right amount of humidity in your home is important to maintaining comfort and well-being. Humidifiers add moisture to the air, so make sure to keep them away from objects that might react negatively to excess moisture. Good air flow is also important to allow the humidifier to distribute moisture through the air evenly and effectively. Try to position your humidifier in a central location of the room, away from windows and vents. Also, be sure to check the room size rating of the humidifier when selecting which room in your home you are looking to humidify.
