How They Work: Bypass humidifiers are often integrated into a home’s heating and cooling system. They work by diverting warm air from the furnace through a water panel. As the air passes through this panel, it picks up moisture and then gets circulated back into the house.
- Advantages: These humidifiers are energy efficient as they use the heat from the furnace and don’t require an additional power source. They are also typically low maintenance and quieter compared to other types.
- Best Use: Ideal for medium-sized homes where there is a need for consistent humidification without significant energy use.
