Best Answer

A humidifier and de-humidifier are not the same type of appliances. Each serves a different purpose and should be used judiciously in the treatment of respiratory problems. Discuss this with your physician and ask for recommendations of what type machine to buy for a room or for all-house coverage.

How to Control Indoor Moisture Using Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers?

Controlling Moisture In The Home Or Business If the home or business structure is too damp, the likelihood of mold increases. If the indoor air is too dry, it can make breathing difficult and cause sinuses to become painful. In both cases, headaches can also occur. In structures of multi-levels, the basement may be too damp while upper levels may be too dry. This is a situation where humidifiers and dehumidifiers are needed. Humidifiers For Dry Areas Lack of sufficient humidity can produce a very dry indoor air quality. Humidifiers correct this situation easily. Humidifiers have adjustable moisture controls that increase or decrease the amount of moisture that is emitted into the air. Humidifiers make indoor air more comfortable and breathing easier. Some humidifiers are free-standing while others are attached to the central heating furnace and work with the furnace blower system to push the moistened air through the ductwork into the home or business. Humidifiers work very well and last for years. They are relatively inexpensive and require little maintenance beyond changing the filter on some models. Dehumidifiers For Better Control of Moisture Humidity results from pockets of moisture that are emitted into the indoor air stream from high summer heat or from certain types of central heating or cooling. Dehumidifiers help control the amount of moisture inside the home or business by drawing air into the dehumidifier unit and collecting it as water vapor. A dehumidifier is usually used in most basement areas to protect the lower level of the structure from constant dampness. A dehumidifier can work with the existing central heating or cooling system. In hot water heating systems, for instance, the system returns the water vapor as heated air through the ductwork. Dehumidifiers can also be free-standing. With a free-standing dehumidifier, there is a need to change out the collection pan. Most of these dehumidifiers have monitoring systems that insure that there is no spillage of the collected water due to overfilling of the collection pan. When the pan fills with collected water, the unit shuts off automatically to prevent any electrical damage. Dehumidifiers are inexpensive by comparison to the damage that could occur if moisture is allowed to exceed safe limits in any structure. The cost for mold removal can be very expensive, depending upon the severity of the situation. In addition, black mold can be very dangerous to health and should be prevented.
