When indoor humidity levels drop below 30%, it can lead to a range of problems. Dry air can irritate household members’ skin, eyes, and respiratory systems. Lack of air moisture also contributes to the spread of viruses and bacteria, making colds and infections more likely. Low humidity can also cause wooden furniture and picture frames to crack or deteriorate prematurely. Dry conditions can even lead to unhealthy house plants. Fortunately, you can prevent these issues by having one of our HVAC technicians install a whole-house humidifier.

Our professionals will integrate whole-house humidity control with your existing forced air system. They will install it on the supply side of your ductwork to ensure it evenly distributes moisture throughout your home. They will then connect the system to your plumbing, so there is no need to refill the water reservoir constantly. It will introduce water vapor into your indoor air every time your HVAC system runs.

There are several reasons to humidify your home.

• Protect hard wood floors
• Reduce static electricity
• Better sleep quality
• Improved energy efficiency

A whole-house humidifier can improve your home’s energy efficiency by reducing the need to frequently turn up the thermostat. Higher moisture levels make your home’s air feel warmer because higher humidity helps your body retain heat more effectively. As a result, family members won’t feel the need to raise the thermostat as often to stay comfortable during colder months. This takes the pressure off your heating system, potentially lowering energy bills. A well-installed system also uses very little electricity and can last over a decade, making it a cost-effective solution to improve your home’s comfort.
