Whole-Home Humidifiers
Whole-home humidifiers are needed when the air inside your home becomes dry. Not only does dry air affect you, but it will also affect the structure of your home. As the air in your home continues to lose moisture, it will draw it from other sources. Your skin and nasal passages will begin to dry out. This may mean a bloody nose or dry, cracked skin for some. When it comes to your home, less moisture can reduce the air quality, increasing the dust and making it harder for your air filters to work properly.
A whole-home humidifier is one of the best ways to correct this problem. A whole-home humidifier introduces moisture into your home every time your heating system turns on. By bringing humidity levels back into a normal range, your indoor air quality will improve, and you will begin to feel more comfortable.

Whole-Home Dehumidifiers
As harmful as it is to have extremely dry air, too much moisture can also be a problem. Humidity can make breathing difficult and cause airborne contaminants to hang in the air for extended periods, making it much easier to catch a cold or the flu. Too much moisture can also damage structures in your home. Wooden doors and drawers may start sticking, making them much harder to open. Moisture inside cabinets may lead to mold or mildew growth.
To lower humidity levels, you will need to have a whole-home dehumidifier installed. A dehumidifier will bring moisture levels back to normal and maintain your home’s overall comfort rating.
If your home is prone to high moisture levels, call (816) 436-1244 or contact us online to schedule a dehumidifier installation with Buckner’s.

Humidifier FAQs
What is a humidifier, and how does it work?
A humidifier adds moisture to your home’s air by releasing water vapor through your HVAC system. Whole-home humidifiers connect to your heating and cooling system, automatically adding humidity when your furnace or air handler runs. This helps maintain comfortable moisture levels throughout your entire Kansas City home, unlike portable units that only treat single rooms.
What are the benefits of using a humidifier?
Whole-home humidifiers provide numerous benefits for Kansas City families: they prevent dry skin, nosebleeds, and respiratory irritation common during Missouri’s dry winter months. Proper humidity levels also protect wood floors and furniture from cracking, reduce static electricity, and can lower heating costs by making the air feel warmer at lower temperatures.
What are the different types of humidifiers?
The main types include bypass humidifiers (most economical), powered flow-through humidifiers (better performance), and steam humidifiers (highest output). Buckner’s recommends whole-home systems that integrate with your existing HVAC equipment rather than portable units, providing consistent moisture control throughout your Kansas City home with minimal maintenance.
How do I choose the right size humidifier for my home?
Humidifier sizing depends on your home’s square footage, construction type, and desired humidity levels. Buckner’s experienced technicians assess your Kansas City home’s specific needs, considering factors like insulation, air leaks, and your heating system capacity. We’ll recommend the properly sized whole-home humidifier to achieve optimal moisture levels efficiently.
How do I maintain my humidifier?
Regular maintenance includes replacing the water panel or pad annually, cleaning the unit at the beginning of each heating season, and checking for mineral buildup. Buckner’s recommends professional service during your annual HVAC maintenance to ensure your humidifier operates efficiently and maintains healthy moisture levels throughout your Kansas City home.
What is the ideal humidity level for my home?
The ideal indoor humidity level is 30-50% year-round. During Kansas City’s dry winters, aim for 35-40% to maximize comfort while preventing condensation on windows. Buckner’s can install humidity monitoring equipment and programmable controls to automatically maintain optimal levels, ensuring your family’s comfort and protecting your home’s structure.
