Humidify or Dehumidify: What’s the Difference?
Determining whether you need to add humidity or reduce it in your home will depend on a variety of factors. Ontario winters bring an added layer of dryness to our air and increased airborne illnesses. However, our summers regularly see heat with an added humidex.
Cross Heating & Air Conditioning comfort advisors will be able to assess the air in your home and look for signs determining which type of air treatment you require.
Humidifiers
Adding humidity to your home will help add moisture to your air. Here are some benefits of installing a humidifier:
- Prevent airborne viruses from spreading around your home
- Prevent skin irritation and dry, cracked hands
- Added moisture helps your home feel warmer
- Reduce allergens and symptoms
- Cut down on static shock
- Protect your furniture and wood from drying out quickly
Types of humidifiers:
- Steam humidifiers produce humidity even when your furnace isn’t running and are adjustable to provide as much humidity you want. Steam humidifiers adapt and account for Ontario’s swinging seasons.
- Rotary disc humidifiers are 100% water-efficient and come with a self-cleaning disc to help reduce wear on the unit. Rotary disc humidifiers use very little energy to add humidity to your home.
- Pulsed flow-through humidifiers are one of the most common ways to add humidity to your home. This style provides small bursts of water to help add moisture to the air in your home. This unit required pads to be replaced regularly.
Dehumidifiers
You may need to reduce the amount of humidity in the air of your home. Some benefits of adding a dehumidifier to your home include:
- Comfortable, breathable air
- Lower energy costs and increased savings
- Low-maintenance solution
- Reduced allergens and symptoms
- Reduced skin irritation
- Minimized odours, organic growth, and mildew
Signs you may need a dehumidifier:
- Water stains or spots on the walls or ceiling of your home
- Poor ventilation in high-humidity rooms (like bathrooms with no windows)
- Frequent or excessive condensation on your windows
- Small black spots on your walls or in the bathroom
- Musty or mildew smells

TESTIMONIALS
Great experience. From the quoting process to the final installation. A new furnace, hot water heater and water softener installed. Each step of the way the guys showed up when they were supposed to, did exactly what they said they would and some. Then they left the site spotless. I would recommend them anytime.
