Testimonials

4 Star Review
“We were pleased with the installation process on our humidifier. The installer arrived on time, was very pleasant and did the job quickly and, I assume, very well. He left the place clean and possibly even neater than it was when he arrived. I asked the Office for a manual as I have not had a humidifier for some time and felt I needed a refresher. It was emailed to me promptly.
The only downside was that the price was higher than I expected but I suppose the fault is mine for not getting a quote and options beforehand. Nonetheless, we are pleased and will definitely call you for any work we require in the future.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it worth getting a whole house humidifier?
A: Yes, getting a whole house humidifier can be highly beneficial. Unlike portable humidifiers, whole house humidifiers are connected to your HVAC system and distribute moisture evenly throughout your entire home. They provide consistent humidity control in every room, ensuring optimal comfort and health for you and your family. Whole house humidifiers also require less maintenance and offer convenience compared to multiple portable units.
Q: Is it okay to use a humidifier every night?
A: It is generally safe to use a humidifier every night, especially if you live in a dry climate or during the winter months when indoor air tends to be drier. However, it is crucial to monitor and maintain proper humidity levels to prevent over-humidification. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and keep an eye on the humidity levels in your home. Additionally, regularly clean and maintain the humidifier to avoid the growth of mold or bacteria.
Q: How long should you run a humidifier in the winter?
A: The duration for running a humidifier in the winter can vary depending on factors such as the size of your home, the humidity level desired, and the specific needs of your household. As a general guideline, it is recommended to run the humidifier for about 8 to 10 hours a day, especially during the evening and overnight when you are at home. This helps maintain comfortable humidity levels while preventing excessive moisture buildup.
Q: Can you over humidify a room?
A: Yes, it is possible to over-humidify a room. Excessive humidity levels can lead to condensation on windows, walls, and surfaces, which can promote the growth of mold and mildew. It can also create a damp environment that may cause discomfort, musty odors, and potential damage to furniture or electronics. It is important to monitor humidity levels using a hygrometer and adjust the humidifier accordingly to maintain a healthy balance of humidity in the room.
Q: What are the pros and cons of a humidifier?
A:

- Respiratory Health Benefits: Adequate humidity levels can alleviate symptoms of allergies, asthma, and respiratory conditions.
- Protects Furnishings: Maintaining proper humidity can prevent wood furnishings, flooring, and musical instruments from drying out and cracking.
- Reduces Static Electricity: Sufficient humidity minimizes static electricity shocks.
