Whole House Humidifiers in Bloomington

Traditionally, Bloomington is not known for blazing summer weather. On the contrary, residents generally experience mild summers and dry, chilly winters.

While there are many great things about living in Bloomington, the prolonged stretches of dry air can negatively affect your home and your health. Fortunately, Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling can help you overcome these problems with our whole house humidifiers.

These devices regulate the moisture levels in your home to create ideal conditions all year. When paired with other services, such as a HEPA filter and duct cleaning services, you can achieve optimal air quality in your home.   

How Does a Whole House Humidifier Work?

When contemplating purchasing a humidifier for your home, it is important to differentiate between a portable humidifier and a whole-home humidifier. A portable system is plugged into your home wall and is mildly effective at improving the moisture in a single room.

The advanced whole house humidifiers installed by Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling are connected directly into your HVAC system’s ductwork. When your furnace cycles on and begins heating the air in your home, the humidifier adds moisture to the mix.

The whole house humidifier is connected to your ductwork and water supply. Several internal mechanisms are found inside the humidifier, depending on the brand and model you select. It will contain either a rotating drum, steaming system or humidifier pad to distribute water into your home’s air supply.

While it is activated, water will steadily stream into the humidifier. The water in the humidifier evaporates into the air in your ducts, increasing the moisture level in your home’s air supply.

How Does a Whole House Humidifier Benefit Me?

Your home’s air should never be too dry or too moist. Either extreme can damage items within your home and have some negative health effects, too. The following are some of the many benefits of purchasing a whole-house humidifier from Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling:

Prevent/Reduce Respiratory Illness

Your respiratory system contains a membrane that must remain relatively moist to reduce irritation. This need for moisture is why nosebleeds are more common in dry, cold air. When the air in your home is too dry, you can be more prone to throat irritation, irritated sinuses, and, you guessed it, nose bleeds. Some viruses can even spread more rapidly in cool, dry air.

Regulating the moisture levels in your home is a proven way of reducing symptoms of respiratory illness. Slightly more humid air can even help kill airborne contaminants.

Sleep Better

Irritated sinuses can leave you up all night with a cough that won’t subside. Dry nasal cavities can also increase the chances of snoring. Whether you or your partner are the ones suffering from sinus irritation, loud snoring is likely to keep both of you up all night.

By preventing irritation and keeping your home more comfortable, our whole-house humidifiers can promote a more restful night of sleep. Getting a good night of rest will, in turn, help you stay healthy throughout the year.

Protect Your Furniture

As mentioned earlier, dry air can be bad for your home too. Properly regulated humidity levels in your home are vital if you want your wood furniture to last. Too much moisture and your wooden items will warp, swell, or bend.

On the other hand, excessively dry conditions will zap the moisture out of your antiques. Over time, this will result in them becoming brittle and weak. Eventually, they will crack or split due to the dry environment.

Doors, window frames, and even wood flooring can suffer from improper humidity levels as well. The best way to protect your home is to partner with Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling for a high-quality whole-house humidifier.
