Whole-home humidifiers provide benefits in personal health, home comfort, property preservation, and increased energy efficiency. Humidifiers connect to your ductwork to ensure your entire home achieves the level of humidity that is needed. They can also assist in reducing bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and fungi, all of which contribute to respiratory infections, allergies, and asthma. Whole home humidifiers provide you with the best comfort during the dry winter months when dry skin and bloody noses are more prevalent. Finally, a humidifier can prevent warping and cracking of wood floors, cabinetry, instruments, and furnishings.
Low humidity in your home can make you uncomfortable and can cause the following:
Itchy eyes and dry mouths
Dry or even bloody noses
Sore or scratchy throats
Dry, cracked and itchy skin
Static shocks
An increased risk of getting airborne viruses, colds, flu, and other upper respiratory ailments
Asthma flare ups
Lower immunity response

With the drastic changes in Minnesota’s outdoor temperatures, the relative humidity within your home can fluctuate often. According to the Mayo Clinic, the humidity in your home should be between 30% and 50%. The intuitive digital controls of the Aprilaire humidifiers allow you to set the level of humidity in your home exactly where you want it!
The Aprilaire units, manufactured in the USA, are installed directly into your home’s central heating and cooling system and work directly through your home’s ductwork. This gives you control over the comfort of your entire home, rather than only certain rooms as a portable unit does.

Furnace Humidifier FAQs
Cold Minnesota air holds less moisture, and indoor humidity can drop even further when the furnace runs frequently during Rochester winters. Homeowners may notice dry skin, irritated sinuses, static shocks, or wood furniture and flooring beginning to dry out. A whole-home furnace humidifier adds controlled moisture through the HVAC system instead of treating only one room. Haley Comfort Systems can evaluate your existing furnace and ductwork and recommend a humidifier that fits your home’s comfort needs.
A whole-home furnace humidifier can be more convenient for homeowners who want consistent humidity throughout the house without refilling and cleaning several portable units. Because the humidifier works through the central HVAC system and ductwork, it can distribute moisture to multiple rooms at once. This can be especially useful in Rochester homes with forced-air furnaces serving several floors. Haley Comfort Systems can determine whether your current system is compatible with a whole-home humidifier and recommend the right size and setup.
Yes. Very dry indoor air can cause hardwood floors, cabinets, trim, furniture, and other wood materials to shrink, gap, or crack over time. This can be a concern in Rochester homes where indoor humidity drops significantly during long periods of winter heating. A properly controlled furnace humidifier helps maintain more stable indoor moisture levels. Haley Comfort Systems can install and adjust a whole-home humidifier to support both comfort and the protection of wood finishes throughout the home.
Window condensation can occur when indoor humidity is set too high for the outdoor temperature or when warm, moist indoor air reaches a cold window surface. During very cold Rochester weather, the ideal humidity setting may need to be lower than it is during milder conditions. Older windows may also show condensation sooner than newer insulated models. Haley Comfort Systems can check the humidifier controls, operation, and settings to help maintain comfortable humidity without adding excessive moisture.
