If you aren’t familiar, a whole-home humidifier聽uses聽water directly from your water supply and the water panel only needs to be changed a couple times聽through聽the heating season.

There are a couple聽factors聽you’ll need to consider when聽shopping for聽a whole-home humidifier.
- Size—The聽humidifier's capacity and size聽is based on gallons per day of operation. One way to聽decide聽what size you聽need聽is to take your total floor area and multiply it by the height of聽your home's聽ceiling. This will help determine how many gallons per hour聽is necessary聽and be a guide as you聽review聽your options.
