The whole-home humidifier marketplace continues to be an integral slice of the HVAC industry. Evaporative, warm-air steam, and ultrasonic humidifiers are highly desirable for customers coast to coast, and manufacturers are developing products across all three variations that better respond to an array of personalized demands.
“In the coming year, contractors and technicians are going to see the need for more accurate and efficient ways to control indoor relative humidity (RH) year-round,” said Randy Lenz, product specialist for Aprilaire, a division of Research Products Corp. “As existing homes become tighter and more efficient, the need for humidification and dehumidification will become more apparent. Products that protect expensive home investments, such as wood flooring, kitchen cabinets, musical instruments, and art, are becoming more desirable.”
