What is a humidifier?
A humidifier is a device designed to increase the humidity in a room or building in order to restore a comfortable moisture level. The most common types are in fact a type of electrical appliance although there are a variety of types, some of which do not use electrical power.
Typical store-bought humidifiers are moderately small units used by homeowners to humidify a single room. Others like those used with furnaces or a home or building’s HVAC system can distribute moisture throughout all rooms. Humidifiers are closely related to essential oil diffusers, a type of humidifier used as an aroma lamp.
