Read MoreYou’ll need to increase the humidity level if you have low relative humidity in your Edmonton home. The best way to fix low relative humidity is to install a whole-home humidifier. This specialized home comfort appliance will significantly improve your indoor air quality and allow you to live more comfortably.
There are many benefits to maintaining good humidity levels in your Edmonton home with a whole home humidifier system. These benefits include:
There are numerous benefits of professional installation of a whole home humidifier system.
First and foremost, a professional humidifier installation company, like ProSolutions Inc., will help you choose the correct size humidifier for your Edmonton home. Choosing the right size humidifier is essential. That’s because a humidifier that is too small will provide no real benefit. On the other hand, if a humidifier is too big, it will waste energy for no reason!
In addition to helping you pick the proper size humidifier for your home, a professional humidifier installation company will guarantee that your system is installed and calibrated properly for the local conditions. This will ensure maximum home comfort and optimal performance. As a result, your humidifier will run efficiently and effectively for years to come.
When it comes to choosing a humidifier, Edmonton homeowners have two options:
Portable units are the cheapest option – they are easy to find and use and require no installation. However, most portable humidifiers can only maintain proper humidity levels in one or two rooms. As well, portable units require a lot of maintenance. This includes regularly filling the water reservoir and consistently cleaning the unit to maintain optimal air quality and minimize bacteria and viruses.
A whole-home system, although more expensive up front, requires much less maintenance and can maintain optimal humidity levels throughout your home.
For Edmonton homeowners, whole-home humidifiers (also known as furnace humidifiers or in-duct humidifiers) are the best option.
Whole home systems can be installed in residential homes with forced-air heating systems. These humidifiers use the air ducts and plumbing system to deliver consistent humidity levels. Best of all, once installed, a whole home humidifier will provide reliable home comfort without needing to lift a finger!

A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is worth installing in Spruce Grove - especially in a new home. In fact, the Alberta Building Code requires all new homes to have a ventilation system installed. HRV systems are extremely beneficial (and often required) because they help keep homes safe, healthy and energy efficient.
That said, not all homes will benefit from an HRV. Older homes, in particular, may not see as many benefits because they are not as air-tight as newer homes. For instance, the energy savings from an HRV will be limited in older homes.
Installing an HRV in a new, tightly sealed home will have the following benefits.
