How They Work: Similar to bypass humidifiers, fan-powered humidifiers are also integrated into a home’s HVAC system. However, they have an internal fan that blows air across the water panel, increasing the evaporation rate and thus the amount of humidity added to the air.
- Advantages: They are more effective than bypass humidifiers, especially in larger homes, as the fan helps in distributing moisture more quickly and efficiently. They also don’t depend on the furnace running to operate.
- Best Use: Suitable for larger homes or in climates where a higher level of humidification is needed throughout the house.
