YORK® product
YORK® Steam Humidifier
The steam humidifier generates humidity on demand — 11.5, 20.5, or 23.3 gallon-per-day capacities — and works even when the heating system isn't running, unlike bypass units. It installs with your existing HVAC and suits tight spots like attics and closets. For dry Central Texas winters it's the precision option for wood floors, instruments, and comfort.
Factory-authorized
YORK® Steam Humidifier
The steam humidifier is the precision option: it generates humidity on demand by boiling water into steam — 11.5, 20.5, or 23.3 gallons per day depending on the model — and injects it into your ductwork whether or not the heating system is running. No dependence on furnace cycles, no evaporative panel limits.
That independence is exactly what mild-winter climates like ours need. Central Texas heating runtime is too short and bursty for evaporative humidifiers to keep large homes at target humidity; steam delivery doesn't care. It's also the unit for equipment in attics, crawl spaces, and closets where evaporative installs are impractical.
For homes with hardwood floors, musical instruments, art, or anyone who feels winter dryness acutely, this is the tier that holds a set humidity number instead of approximating one. We size the model to your square footage and water conditions during the assessment.
Every install starts with a free in-home assessment and a flat written price — no surprises. Call 512-528-4258 or request service online.

From the field
Owning this system in Central Texas
Steam units interact with water quality: our Hill Country hard water means the canister/electrode maintenance schedule matters, and we set it based on your actual water hardness at install. Expect a yearly service visit as the baseline.
The payoff for that maintenance is control the evaporative units can't match — a held humidity number regardless of heating runtime. For wood floors and instruments we typically target a steady 40%, and the steam unit is the only tier that holds it through a warm, dry February week.
Placement flexibility is a quiet advantage: because steam injects directly into the supply air rather than depending on furnace heat, we can mount the unit where service access is sane — and in attic-equipment homes that's often the difference between a maintainable installation and an annual contortion act.
