A Humidifier is a household appliance, with the basic purpose of increasing the humidity in the room. Room Humidifiers are known as point-of-use humidifiers that are used in a single room, and Home Humidifiers are known as Whole House or Furnace Humidifiers that provides humidity to the entire house. Other types of Humidifiers are Steam Humidifier, Cool Mist Humidifiers, Ultrasonic Humidifiers, forced-air humidifiers, etc. The need of the Humidifiers become more poignant in winters. With the heater generally on and windows closed, the air becomes dry, and results in dry skin, cracked lips, sore throat, itchy eyes, and headaches. Single Room Humidifiers are the most common, and easy to install. Whereas, whole house or Home Humidifiers are a bit complicated and need to be installed by a professional.

A single Room Humidifier is perfect for rooms that are naturally more humid than others. Whereas, if the humidity level of the entire place is less, it is advisable to install a whole house, or Home Humidifier.
