Humidifier recommendations for large basement in Ottawa winters?
David Smith · · 3 replies
My basement is roughly 1500 sq ft and the humidity drops to 20% in the winter here in Ottawa, which makes it uncomfortable and my skin dry. Looking for a reliable humidifier that can handle this size space and isn’t super noisy. Would prefer something around $150-$250 CAD if possible. Also, is it better to get an ultrasonic or evaporative type?

I have an Aprilaire evaporative humidifier for my 1400 sq ft basement, it’s a bit pricier but works well and is quiet.

Ultrasonic ones are quieter and cheaper but can leave white dust if you have hard water, so consider using distilled water.

Check out the Venta Airwasher, I heard it humidifies and cleans air too, but it’s on the higher end price-wise.
