Air Humidification

Whole House Humidifiers in Tipton

When most homeowners think of humidity they likely associate it with the hot summer months. During the summer the humidity levels in our homes increase. A home’s air conditioner plays a key role in both managing the temperature in a home and reducing humidity. In the winter the humidity levels drop naturally as the colder, drier air takes hold. This natural change may seem like a blessing, but humidity plays an important part in our bodies. Overall comfort and breathing are affected when humidity levels skew too far outside the optimal 30%-50% range.

One solution to ensure optimal humidity levels in our home during the winter months is to install a whole-house humidifier. The technicians at Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling have installed hundreds of whole house humidifiers in Tipton. We take pride in helping our customers achieve optimal humidity levels in their homes and it shows in the quality of our work and our customer service.

Installing a Whole House Humidifier 

There are several options to choose from when shopping for humidifiers. The most common models are small and portable. These small units can increase the humidity levels in one room. They can be moved easily from room to room but their water source is a reservoir that needs to be removed and filled regularly. The size of the reservoir determines how frequently it will require refilling, being careful not to spill any in the process.

There are larger models available but they struggle to affect a home’s humidity because they are not connected to the ductwork, so the impact is limited to a large space or perhaps one level of a home. Humidity that is not evenly distributed can cause water-related damage and issues like mold growth while other parts of the home are damaged by the overly dry air. Homeowners looking to control the humidity levels in their homes during the winter will find the best solution is to install a system that is integrated into the home’s HVAC and plumbing system.

Whole-house humidifiers use the home’s existing ductwork to move humidity throughout the home, dispersing it into every room. The systems integrated humidistat will even allow homeowners to set different humidity levels in different rooms depending on need. Whole-house humidifiers installed by the technicians at Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling are simple and easy to use. The water needed to operate a whole house humidifier comes from the home’s plumbing, eliminating the need to fill a water reservoir. Just set the humidistats and enjoy more comfortable air in your home. Our HVAC technicians are licensed and insured. Continued education is encouraged so our experts are not only qualified to perform service on a home’s HVAC system but they are trained to use the latest technologies and techniques.

Whole House Humidifier Benefits 

There are several benefits to maintaining proper humidity levels in a home.

  • Prevent damage to a home – When the air in a home is dry the moisture that is present in porous materials like wood and drywall is wicked away. As these materials dry out, they contract and cause damage. Wood will split and crack and drywall will begin to crack and crumble. Maintaining proper humidity levels in a home will help prevent this damage from occurring.
  • Improved Air Quality – Dry air is hazardous for our respiratory health. Breathing dry air can cause irritation in your nose and throat. This irritation can cause persistent coughing, sneezing, and sometimes, nose bleeds.
  • Prevent Illness – Viruses like the common cold and the flu thrive in dry air. Installing a whole-house humidifier can help lessen the likelihood of coming down with an illness.
  • Better Skin – Exposure to dry air can cause our skin and lips to dry out and crack. Applying moisturizers can help but a whole-house humidifier is a more effective solution.
  • Improved Efficiency – Humidity affects how we experience temperature in our homes. Humid air prevents evaporation, your body’s natural way of eliminating excess heat. Properly balanced humidity will make a home feel warmer at lower temperatures. Running a home’s heater a few degrees lower will save money on utilities.
