HC17 Whole-Home Bypass Humidifier

A Better Balance of Comfort—Moisture Where Your Home Needs It Most

Say goodbye to dry air discomfort with the Healthy Climate® HC17 Bypass Humidifier—a smart, low-maintenance solution that adds balanced humidity throughout your entire home. Designed to work with your existing HVAC system, the HC17 helps eliminate common winter air issues like dry skin, scratchy throats, static shocks, and cracked woodwork.

Unlike small portable units, this whole-home humidifier is efficient, quiet, and virtually invisible—providing up to 17 gallons of moisture per day while blending effortlessly into your furnace system.

Why Choose the HC17?

Whole-Home Coverage

The HC17 connects directly to your furnace or air handler and uses your system’s blower to deliver humidified air evenly across every room—ensuring you’re comfortable no matter where you are in the house.

Quiet, Power-Free Operation

As a bypass humidifier, the HC17 doesn’t need its own motor. It operates quietly and efficiently, using your HVAC system’s airflow—no extra power source required.

Healthier Air—Without Ozone

Some indoor air quality systems can produce ozone as a byproduct, but not this one. The HC17 humidifies without releasing any ozone, helping protect sensitive lungs and respiratory health.

Low Maintenance

Unlike portable units that require constant refilling and cleaning, the HC17 is low-touch—only requiring an annual water panel replacement to keep running smoothly.

Optional Automatic Control

Add convenience and consistency with an optional automatic humidity control, helping you maintain the perfect moisture level—without manual adjustments.

Ideal for Edmonton Winters

During cold months, your heating system can drop your home’s humidity levels dramatically.

The HC17 combats dry winter air by delivering just the right amount of moisture—keeping your home cozy and your air comfortable.
