A whole-house humidifier is a great addition to your home. Maintaining the right humidity level in your home will make you feel more comfortable at a lower set temperature, help to preserve the structural integrity of your home, including that of wood floors, cabinets, and furniture, and has many health benefits including the reduction of allergy and asthma symptoms, as well as the reduced likelihood of respiratory infections.

The GeneralAire 5500 is a whole-home steam humidifier designed to be ducted into your HVAC system. With an output of up to 28.5 gallons per day, this unit will beat any bypass or fan-powered unit without wasting water and it will do great in home sizes of up to 5500 square feet. Steam is also the purest form of humidification and ensures you aren't introducing any harmful bacteria or mold into the air in your home. The GeneralAire 5500 features an automatic digital humidistat that provides set it and forget it convenience, as well as an informational display so you always know that status of your humidifier and when it's time to replace the steam cylinder.
