Humidifiers

A good York heating system will keep your family comfortable through even particularly harsh winters. However, temperature alone is not responsible for all the discomfort winter has to offer. A lack of humidity can be equally uncomfortable, so it’s important that your heating system be supplemented with in-duct humidifiers to keep your home from becoming too dry.

Before installing a humidifier in your home, it’s important that you find someone with the experience necessary to work on your York home comfort system. There are many providers in New Jersey, but only a handful has earned the distinction of working with us directly. Our dealer locator here on the site will help you find a local company that can assist you with all of your indoor air quality needs.

York Home Humidification

Home humidity control is important for a number of reasons. To start with, low humidity can be downright uncomfortable. Because you are blowing heated air throughout your home and because the outdoor air feeding your ventilation system is naturally dryer in the winter, there isn’t much moisture. The most immediate result of dry air is dry skin; however it can go beyond simple dry skin and exacerbate cold and flu symptoms. Extremely dry air can even make breathing more difficult, especially for people who already suffer from allergies and asthma.

Low humidity has a monetary impact as well. Heat is retained better in higher humidity environments. The lower the humidity in your home, the faster your heat can dissipate. While you’ll never experience cold temperatures as a result, your furnace will be forced to work harder and your energy bills will increase.

York Humidifier Installation & Maintenance

When it comes time to install a humidifier in your York heating system, choose one that will meet the capacity requirements for your home. Additionally, make sure it’s easy to reach and turn off if necessary. Because humidity can become a problem when it gets too high, any humidifier needs to be turned off as soon as the colder, low humidity winter is gone. Even when your heat is on during the spring, the humidifier rarely needs to be on with it because of the risk of mold and bacteria growth in your ductwork.

Humidifiers are unique because they have water reservoirs. These need to be drained and cleaned thoroughly at least once a year and often more frequently to remove any moisture from your system before humidity increases in the summer. Mineral deposits can also build up from your water supply if you have hard water.
