Benefits of Installing a Humidifier
Experts recommend humidity levels in your home be around 30-50%; humidity levels below this can cause issues for your health and home. Prolonged exposure to dry air causes health problems you may not attribute to a lack of home humidity. Externally, a lack of water vapor in the air can cause dry skin and itchy eyes. Internally, allergies, bloody noses, headaches, dry throat, and more may plague you.
Poor humidity affects your home’s indoor air quality, making your home a less comfortable place to be. When the air does not have enough humidity, it will take moisture from your home’s structure, which causes damage to the house and any wood furniture. On the contrary, a proper humidity level grants better sleep, prevents colds, and can help you recover from illness quicker. It can also help lower heating repairs and bills since moisture makes the air feel warmer.
Humidifiers We Install
Air humidifiers come in two major types: portable humidifiers and whole-house humidifiers. These types serve very different purposes, and your home humidifier needs will determine which type will work best for your property. Each major type of air humidifier also has subtypes, functioning at different efficiency and cost levels. At Aire Serv of the-willamette, we provide whole-house humidifier repairs and maintenance. Listed below are a few of the whole-house units we service.
Types of Whole-House Humidifiers
Whole-house humidifiers attach to your furnace unit and humidify the entire house. Since they install in conjunction with an HVAC unit, whole-house humidifiers take up less space and require less maintenance overall. These systems have the benefit of working automatically to adjust humidity levels, usually using a thermostat to monitor and adjust the home humidifier. The most common whole-house humidifier types include:
- Flow through humidifier: A system where air passes over an internal pad, causing water to evaporate and pass through air ducts.
- Drum humidifier: A similar system, instead using a belt that rotates through a water tray. The water evaporates off the belt and uses your home’s duct system.
