Industry Secrets Few Mention
Zoned Humidity Control: We install humidistats at living levels—not near a hot attic ceiling—For more accurate reading of actual humidity where you live.
Trace‑Mineral Cartridge Option: Proprietary, patented technology that adds a safe mineral cartridge to your humidifier water to reduce the growth of bacteria inside the unit, a simple trick most homeowners never knew was possible.
Nighttime Boost Mode: This is a quiet, low-noise level that gives humidity a few more points of boost during bedtime hours, making it easier to breathe in bed.
Who Needs a Humidifier? A Guide for Our Service Areas
You’ll enjoy a bounty of benefits from a whole-home humidifier if you live in Pennsylvania, Maryland, D.C., Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska or Utah, where long, cold winters mean your furnace is running 24/7 and stripping moisture from the air. These are particularly valuable in cold, dry climate zones that need strong systems to fight heating-season dryness.
Benefits of Whole‑Home Humidifier Services
Humidity levels that are normal (40-60%) have the following advantages:
- Healthier & More Comfortable: Decreases skin dryness, sinus irritation, and allergies.
- Protects Your Home: Kills 99.9% of bugs, mold, and mildew, eliminates odor and nasty smells, and prevents your wood floors, furniture and cabinetry from cracking and warping.
- Lower Virus Transmission Risk: Proper humidity level will aid in preventing airborne spread of viruses.
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Muggy air allows you to set your thermostat lower, and save on your heating bill.
Whole-House Humidifiers Types That We Install
- Flow-Through Humidifiers: The first choice of HVAC contractors for reliability and low maintenance. They operate with your furnace fan and have no standing water to attract the growth of bacteria.
- Steam Humidifiers: This is certainly the most ideal approach in the fastest and most precise control of humidity. They can be used without any reference to your furnace to provide the right humidity level. This implies that they are suitable for big houses or buildings that have excess dry air.
- Drum Humidifiers: These do not cost much to run in areas that have small homes, but they need to be cleaned and serviced more often.

Humidifier Installation Services: A whole-home humidifier integrates with your central heating and cooling system. We carry out a complete analysis of your home’s layout and ductwork, check the right sizing for your needs, and conduct a professional installation of all water and electric lines. This ensures that it has maximum effectiveness, and is backed by our “Right-Sized System” Guarantee.
Humidifier Repair Services: Our team can diagnose and repair any household humidifier issue. The average repair cost runs between $70 and $400. Common repairs include:
- Solenoid Valve Problems: Regulates water flow, and stops humidity production.
- Evaporative Pad Replacement: This is probably the most important single piece of annual maintenance; clogged pads reduce efficiency significantly.
- Humidistat Calibration: Inaccurate humidistats may lead to over-humidification or under- humidification, and you may have to diagnose it with the assistance of a professional.
