How Do Steam Humidifiers Work?

Steam humidifiers are most often found attached to a furnace, and is outfitted with a reservoir filled with a supply of water. When the humidity drops below a certain point, the water is heated and turned into steam. Once an adequate amount of steam has been created to humidify the house, it is release through the vents and ductwork to the house, improving humidity and overall comfort throughout the building. Working in tandem with the furnace, the humidifier keeps the humidity at an appropriate level.
