Humidification

Natural gas humidification - reliable, economic, and a healthy environment

Reliable

Natural gas humidifiers require less maintenance, function better with softened water, accumulate less scaling and are easier to clean than comparable electric units1. Make the switch to natural gas humidification and eliminate frequent and costly canister changes!

Economic

A natural gas humidifier will save you money. While an average electric humidifier has an annual operating cost of $8,700 a comparable natural gas unit costs approximately $4,0002 – that’s a 54% saving!  As well, additional savings can be realized through reduction of high electrical demand charges.

Healthy environment 

Humidity is essential to the health and comfort of the people in your building. But what about the health of the air outside? Natural gas promotes a healthier environment by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Need proof? There is a stark contrast in the annual carbon dioxide emissions between a natural gas humidifier and an electric unit: The amount of energy production required to power a humidification unit emits 85% LESS CO2 for natural gas compared to electricity3 . Choosing natural gas is good for the air – both inside, and out.

The natural gas humidifier advantages

Natural gas humidification units deliver consistent and reliable operation, cost efficiencies and less maintenance than electric units. The savings can be reinvested in your business. Get your money's worth and switch to natural gas - the high value fuel that offers the most heat content per dollar and a range of options to meet your energy needs.
