Do whole house humidifiers promote mold?

I am also wondering if it leaves the vents damp which can cause bacterial growth. Thanks

    Well, if you turn your place into a rain forest then sure. Moisture promotes the growth for a lot of things.

    Moisture = life

    Just depends on how much moisture you're talking about.

    promote? you mean prevent???

    wow

    umm yeah taking moisture out of the air will prevent mold from growing. Any water or damp surfaces are a breading ground for bacteria and growth
