Humidifiers

Having an air humidifier in your home during the winter months is essential in lowering static shocks and keeping your skin from drying out and cracking. It also improves air quality for people with allergies or asthma. There is a lot to consider when purchasing a humidifier to ensure you’re getting the best choice for your home. Things like size, capacity and benefits are all important to ensure it is efficiently humidifying your air. You can even add an aroma diffuser or essential oil diffuser to create a beautiful scent while humidifying.

Warm Mist Air Humidifiers

Warm mist humidifiers operate very quietly and evaporate water using a heating element, creating a steam that gets vented into the air, creating humidity and removing impurities. You’ll need to fill the water reservoir when it gets low and clean it regularly to ensure healthy operation.

Ultrasonic Air Humidifiers

Ultrasonic humidifiers use vibrations to disperse water into tiny droplets and are great for desktop use or in nurseries or other small areas. Some models require regular cleaning to prevent the growth of bacteria and mould, others utilize a permanent ceramic filter that doesn’t need to be replaced.

Cool Mist Air Humidifiers

Cool mist humidifiers utilize a spinning disc that creates a fine mist of water by flinging it on to a diffuser to create tiny droplets and humidify your home. They operate at a slightly higher sound level than other humidifiers, but don’t use much power. Frequent filter cleaning and use of demineralized water is recommended with these models.
