Have ample space you need to humidify? Are Ultrasonic and steam units not able to keep up with the amount of square footage? Ultrasonic units are typically smaller and can't compete with the output of a large, whole house humidifier. For larger homes – 1,000 square feet and bigger – evaporative humidifiers are the winner.
Here are our best-rated humidifiers for spaces larger than 1,000 square feet.
The Horizon evaporative humidifier is the perfect choice for whole-house humidification. It humidifies up to 3,700 square feet for up to 45 hours on a single fill. Easy to use digital controls make airflow adjustment simple, while the modern wood-tone finish makes the Horizon fit nicely with any home style. The Horizon uses our HDC411 Super Wick® (your first set is included).
Humidifiers are beneficial year-round. That's why most AIRCARE evaporative models are made in various styles and colors, so you can leave them out and use them all the time. For this reason, the Pedestal comes in two warm earth tones, nutmeg (shown) and espresso. But what makes the Pedestal unique is that it functions like an end table. Its decorative top contains a 12 "x12" insert that can be swapped out with any other tile to match your home.
The Pedestal covers up to 2,400 square feet, holds three-and-a-half gallons of water, and runs up 60 hours per fill.
The Spruce loved the Valiant for its powerful output (over 12 gallons per day), 4,000 square foot coverage area, and three fan speeds. The Valiant holds five gallons of water and runs up to 55 hours per fill, so if you don't like frequent refills, the Valiant is the whole house humidifier for you. It comes in two finishes: brushed nickel (model HD1409) and honey oak (model EA1407).
With a warm wood tone and a classic design, the Credenza evaporative humidifier is a stylish way to humidify an entire house, covering up to 3,6000 square feet. The Credenza's casters and dual tanks make refills easy. Nine fan speeds, an adjustable humidistat, analog controls, and a digital display make it simple to maintain an ideal humidity level. The Credenza uses one of our 1041 Super Wick® (your first one is included) and our 1051 air filter (sold separately).
Humidifiers are rated by coverage area, so check the packaging to see how many square feet the humidifier covers. Keep in mind that homes in the regions that are extremely dry or extremely cold – or both – are the hardest to humidify. For this reason, you might want to size up when selecting a humidifier.
