Whole House Humidifier Installation in Manitoba

Combat Dry Winter Air in Manitoba

Manitoba winters are brutal on indoor humidity. When your furnace runs constantly to keep up with -30°C temperatures, it strips moisture from the air, dropping indoor humidity to desert-like levels. This causes dry skin, irritated sinuses, static electricity, cracking wood furniture, and increased susceptibility to colds and flu.

A whole house humidifier integrates with your furnace to automatically maintain optimal humidity levels (30-50%) throughout your entire home, providing dry air solutions that portable units simply can't match.

Types of Furnace Humidifier Installation

Patterson Mechanical installs several types of humidity control systems:

• Bypass humidifiers: Cost-effective option that uses furnace heat to evaporate water. Works when furnace is running.
• Fan-powered humidifiers: Built-in fan provides humidity even when furnace isn't running. Higher output for larger homes.
• Steam humidifiers: Premium option that generates pure steam for precise humidity control. Fastest humidification.

Signs You Need HVAC Humidity Control

If you experience these symptoms during Manitoba winters, a humidity control system can help:

• Frequent dry, itchy skin and chapped lips
