Whole House Humidifiers in Nashville, TN
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) accounts for how the air inside homes and businesses affects your health, comfort, and ability to work. When your home has a comfortable temperature and humidity level, sufficient fresh air, and indoor/outdoor pollution control, you have good indoor air quality. If you don’t have those things, it is time to consider a Whole House Humidifier for your Nashville area home.
A Humidifier Can Improve The Air You Breathe
Improving the IAQ of your home or business becomes more important when you consider the amount of time that Americans spend inside – about 90%. According to the EPA, “the concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher” indoors than they are outdoors.
What is a Whole House Humidifier?
An air humidifier is a portable or permanent mechanism that adds moisture to the air in a given room, home, or business. Whole-house humidifiers are installed in the ductwork of your property and get connected to a water source so regulate humidity levels.
What Does a Humidifier Do?
A humidifier adds moisture to the air in order to regulate the humidity level (or relative humidity) indoors vs. that of outdoors.
Relative Humidity (RH) is the percentage of water vapor the air is “holding” vs. the amount it is capable of holding at a given temperature.
In the winter, the indoor RH is much lower than the outdoor RH. That means the air in your home is more likely to feel dry and in need of moisture. A humidifier can help you accomplish this.

FAQ’s About Whole Home Humidifiers
To deep clean your portable humidifier, follow these steps after unplugging it:
- Disassemble it, and pour out any water in the tank and base.
- Fill the base with vinegar, and put any other smaller parts in a container of vinegar. Let them sit for 30 minutes. Then use a soft-bristled brush to remove any residue stuck to the parts.
- While your base and parts are soaking, make a cleaning solution of 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon of bleach or 3% hydrogen peroxide. Swirl the solution to coat the tank; pour it out.
- Rinse your base and tank with regular tap water until you don’t smell the vinegar and bleach. Then lay them out to dry.
- Reassemble and resume running.
Yes, you can actually reduce allergy symptoms and prevent the irritation and side effects allergens cause with the help of a humidifier. It can help keep your nasal passages clear and prevent that dry, scratchy feeling in your throat.
If your home or business feels dry, you need a humidifier to add moisture to the air. If your home feels almost damp, you need some of that moisture taken out of the air and, therefore, a dehumidifier.
