Whole House Humidifiers

Improve Your Home’s Comfort and Air Quality All Year Long

Dry air can cause more problems than just making your skin feel uncomfortable. It can lead to dry sinuses, irritated eyes, cracked wood floors, and even damage to your furniture and electronics. That’s why Old School Cooling offers professional whole house humidifier installation and maintenance services designed to keep your indoor air perfectly balanced and comfortable—no matter the season.


A whole house humidifier works alongside your existing heating and cooling system to add moisture evenly throughout your home. Unlike portable humidifiers, which only cover one room at a time, a whole house system treats the air in every room, improving your health and comfort while protecting your home.

What Is a Whole House Humidifier?

A whole house humidifier is an HVAC accessory installed directly onto your furnace or air handler. It introduces controlled moisture into the air that your heating and cooling system distributes, maintaining optimal humidity levels in your entire home.



Ideal indoor humidity levels range between 30% and 50%. When humidity drops below that, especially during winter or in dry climates, it can cause discomfort and health issues. Too much moisture, however, can encourage mold and dust mites. A whole house humidifier helps maintain the perfect balance automatically.

Benefits of Installing a Whole House Humidifier

1. Better Respiratory Health

Dry air can irritate your nose, throat, and sinuses, making colds, allergies, and asthma symptoms worse. Adding moisture helps soothe these tissues and can reduce snoring caused by dry air.


2. Improved Skin and Hair

Low humidity dries out your skin, leading to itching, flaking, and cracking. A whole house humidifier helps keep your skin hydrated and your hair healthier.


3. Protect Your Home

Dry air causes wood floors, cabinets, and furniture to shrink and crack over time. It can also damage paint and wallpaper. Proper humidity levels help preserve your home’s structure and finishings.


4. Energy Savings

Humid air feels warmer than dry air at the same temperature, so you can often lower your thermostat and save on heating bills during colder months.


5. Reduce Static Electricity

Dry indoor air creates static shocks and makes dust and allergens more airborne. Humidifying your home helps reduce static buildup and improves overall air quality.

How a Whole House Humidifier Works with Your HVAC System

The humidifier attaches to your furnace or air handler and uses water from your home’s supply to add moisture to the heated air before it circulates through your home. Most systems have built-in sensors that measure humidity and adjust output automatically, so your home always stays at the ideal comfort level.



Because the humidifier is part of your central HVAC system, you don’t have to refill water tanks or worry about cleaning multiple small units around the house.
