Humidifiers
Whole Home Humidifiers Barrie
A humidifier is designed to add moisture to indoor air when humidity levels drop too low, which commonly happens during heating season. Dry air can lead to discomfort, static electricity, dry skin, irritated sinuses, and damage to wood flooring and furniture. Whole home humidifiers work directly with the HVAC system to maintain balanced humidity levels throughout the space rather than treating individual rooms.
Affordable Comfort installs humidifiers in Barrie, Collingwood, and Orillia that are properly sized and integrated with existing heating systems. Correct installation and control setup are essential to ensure humidity levels stay within a healthy range without causing condensation or moisture issues.
Steam Humidifiers
Steam humidifiers produce moisture by boiling water and distributing clean steam through the HVAC system. This type of humidifier offers precise humidity control and consistent output, making it well suited for larger homes and situations where higher moisture levels are required. Steam humidifiers operate independently of furnace runtime, allowing accurate humidity delivery even during shorter heating cycles.

Bypass Humidifiers
Bypass humidifiers use airflow from the heating system to pass warm air over a water panel, adding moisture as air circulates. These systems are simple, reliable, and energy efficient, making them a common choice for standard residential applications. Bypass humidifiers operate quietly and are well suited for homes with consistent furnace runtime.
