Home Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers in Calgary, AB

The Difference With a Whole-House Humidifier

Cold Calgary winters strip moisture from the air. Dry indoor air makes rooms feel colder, drives up run time, and can irritate sinuses and membranes. It also increases static and can stress wood floors and furniture. Better indoor air quality starts with healthy humidity.

A whole-home humidifier adds controlled moisture across every supply register. It ties into your furnace or air handler and uses a dedicated humidistat so you reach the right level without over-humidifying.

Make Summer Easier With a Whole-House Dehumidifier

High humidity traps heat near the skin, so 23°C can feel several degrees warmer. A central dehumidifier lowers moisture, helps your air conditioner work less, and improves comfort in basements and over-garage rooms. It also slows mould growth, prevents condensation on windows, protects finishes, and keeps musty odours away.

Signs You Need Better Humidity Control

• Humidifier needed: dry skin, nose and throat irritation, static shocks, shrinking or gapping woodwork, cracking musical instruments.
• Dehumidifier needed: musty smells, visible mould or mildew, window condensation, clammy rooms, rust or swelling trim, persistent damp in basements.

Humidity Control FAQs

What is the ideal indoor humidity in Calgary?

Keep indoor relative humidity around 30 to 50 percent. In very cold snaps aim near 30 percent to limit window condensation.

Do I need a humidifier or a dehumidifier?

Use a humidifier for dry winter air and a dehumidifier for damp summer spaces or moisture-heavy rooms like pool areas. Many homes benefit from both across the year.

Are whole-home units better than portable units?

Yes. Central systems control humidity evenly through ductwork, use dedicated sensors, and avoid frequent refilling or bucket emptying.

How often should systems be serviced?

Schedule maintenance once a year. Replace humidifier pads or steam canisters, clean strainers and drains, and test dehumidifier coils and condensate lines.

Can controls integrate with my existing thermostat?

Yes. We can add a standalone humidistat or integrate humidity control into compatible smart thermostats for automatic setpoint adjustments.
