This fall, we held our first-ever Humidifier Showroom Display Contest for distributors. The premise is pretty self-explanatory: we asked them to come up with the most unique and eye-catching humidifier showroom displays possible, and as expected, our contest participants did NOT disappoint!

Before we reveal the winners, we want to thank all those who entered. While the contest can literally be classified as “fun and games”, we don’t want to understate how much we value our partnership with distributors in promoting our Healthy Humidity campaign and putting humidifiers front and center during the time when homeowners need humidity the most.

And stay tuned, because tomorrow we’ll show our full list of contest entrants because there were too many great displays for us to keep to ourselves!

THIRD PLACE: Corken Steel, Florence KY Branch

SECOND PLACE: R E Michel, Fairfax VA Branch

And our big grand prize winner is…………………

FIRST PLACE: Crescent Parts (on Natural Bridge Rd), St. Louis MO

And here’s one with the lights off to give you an idea of the light situation going on.

But let’s not overlook the best part: the “working”, roaring fireplace (chestnuts not included).

Thanks again to all who participated. Check out our latest blog post to see all of the wonderful display contest entries we received!

Optimizing Indoor Air: The Role of Humidifiers in Energy-Efficient Homes

< 1 minute read

Modern homes are built for maximum energy efficiency, reducing natural ventilation, and limiting the amount of dry outdoor air entering the home during the heating season. This has led to a misconception that humidifiers are unnecessary in newer homes. Research shows that without a humidifier, indoor humidity levels drop below what’s needed to maintain comfort and preserve the home. HVAC professionals play a key role in addressing this issue by recommending and installing humidifiers to ensure proper Indoor Air Quality and balanced moisture levels for customers.

The Growing Need for Better Indoor Air Quality

With 1 in 5 Americans suffering from asthma and allergies, Indoor Air Quality is a major concern. HVAC professionals play a key role in addressing this issue by recommending effective air filtration solutions.

 

Whole-Home Electronic Air Cleaners: A High-Performance Solution

Unlike standard mechanical filters, electronic air cleaners (EACs) use an electric charge to capture even the smallest airborne particles, providing superior filtration throughout the home. Installed within the HVAC system, they effectively remove allergens, dust, and other contaminants.

 

Why Recommend an Electronic Air Cleaner?

  • Higher Efficiency – EACs outperform traditional filters, especially for tiny airborne particles
  • Comprehensive Air Filtration – Integrated with the HVAC system, they clean air in every room
  • Ideal for Allergy & Asthma Sufferers – Helps reduce triggers like dust, pollen, and pet dander

 

While industry testing standards for EACs are still evolving, independent studies confirm their effectiveness. Offering whole-home electronic air cleaners gives contractors a high-value solution to improve IAQ and enhance customer satisfaction.

The Impact of Whole-Home Dehumidification on Indoor Comfort and Energy Efficiency

As an HVAC professional, you know that indoor humidity levels can impact not just occupant comfort and health but also the home itself. Too much moisture in the air can lead to mold, musty odors, and damage to wood floors and furnishings. Unfortunately, standard air conditioning (AC) systems provide limited humidity control—especially when they’re not actively cooling.

 

That’s where whole-house dehumidifiers come in. A recent study found that using a whole-house dehumidifier alongside AC can significantly improve humidity control and even help reduce energy usage. By keeping indoor moisture levels in check, your customers will feel more comfortable, prevent potential damage to their home, and may even save on their energy bills.
