5 Benefits of Getting a Whole-House Humidifier
The correct humidity balance can do more than just protect your health. It can improve your real-feel temperatures during winter, making your property feel warmer. You’ll reap the benefits through skin health, sleep quality, and allergy reduction, too. A whole-home humidifier will:
- Make you feel more comfortable when you’re down with the flu or a cold
- Improve your sleep quality
- Reduce static electricity
- Make your home feel warmer, allowing you to reduce the setting on your HVAC system
- Reduce the symptoms of allergies
Our Humidifier Installation Services
Whole-home humidifiers are relatively easy to install, particularly if your home already has air ducts. This process must be performed according to local codes, so a DIY approach isn’t recommended. You can expect a two-hour process for cutting, marking, and the ultimate placement of your system.
Ductwork can take one to four days, but if your home is already fitted with ducts, we’ll zip in and out in a matter of hours. If possible, we’ll place the technology in your ductwork near a hot water supply line or furnace. We’ll drill holes for attachment into your forced air system and use a level to make sure it’s attached at a precise angle.
Once we’ve screwed the mounting plate into place, we’ll connect the transformer, allowing your system to draw current safely. Then we’ll connect your humidifier to your water supply line and cut the vent pipe. Now all that’s left is to turn your water and furnace back on so you can enjoy your new level of comfort.
Whole-Home Humidifier Repairs
Improper maintenance and filter blockages are the most common reasons for humidifier breakdowns. Mold and mineral buildups cause clogs that interfere with electrical connections and introduce sediment into your system. Low water levels can also cause damage, so it’s important to monitor your supply.
Call for repairs if you notice unusual noises, odors, or leaks. If your system isn’t producing mist, it might also need attention. Mold and mildew might not produce an obvious breakdown, but they can be potentially hazardous to your health. If you notice black or green deposits, always seek out expert support.

FAQs
How long do whole-house humidifiers last?
Depending on the brand you choose, your system can last between five and 15 years. You can extend this period through regular maintenance and filter changes.
Are whole-house humidifiers loud?
Whole-home systems are usually more discreet than portable technologies. Their noise levels should never rise above 30 decibels, and adjusting your fan speed can reduce that sound even further.
