We install humidifiers for Northern Virginia homes.
During the cooler days in Northern Virginia, your indoor air can start to get uncomfortably dry. With your furnace working to keep your home warm and the lack of ventilation because of closed windows, it can make your home’s air unusually dry.
Dry air can lead to greater problems with respiratory issues, allergies, and dry skin and can even damage anything made of wood. If you have dry air in your home, then a whole-house humidifier, professionally installed by our HVAC technicians, can be the home comfort solution you’re looking for.
A whole-house humidifier works in conjunction with your furnace to distribute moisture evenly throughout your home. Most systems use either evaporative or steam technology. We typically recommend evaporative systems due to their efficiency and lower cost. These systems use a water-saturated pad or drum (the wick), and as the furnace air passes over it, the water evaporates into the air. Steam systems boil the water, and the furnace moves the steam along with the furnace's warm air.
A member of our team of technicians will visit your Northern Virginia home to assess your HVAC system and home size. Based on their inspection and expertise, they will recommend the right humidifier for the job. Installation typically takes a few hours but may take longer if additional work is needed, such as ductwork modifications or waterline access. Once installed, we'll test the system and provide you with operating and maintenance instructions.
Regular maintenance is essential for your humidifier's top performance. Here are some typical maintenance that will keep your humidifier running in top condition for the dry air season:
Consistent maintenance during the winter months when indoor air is at its driest ensures optimal comfort for you and your family.
