Whole-House Humidifiers

The correct humidity level in your Farmington Hills area home is essential for not only your comfort, but also for your health. When your humidity is too low or too high indoors, both your home and your body suffer the consequences. At Harriman Heating & Air Conditioning, we can help regulate your humidity levels properly with a whole-house humidifier. Our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals are experts at installing, repairing, and maintaining these humidifiers.

What Can Happen Without a Whole-House Humidifier?

During the colder season, our inside air becomes drier, requiring additional humidity. When the warmer season is here, our inside air is moister, requiring less humidity. When these ratios get out of proportion, your Michigan home’s comfort turns upside down. Your body reacts to the difference and so does your home.

Our professionals know your air conditioner goes a long way in contributing to your humidity control. But we also know it may not be enough in many cases. And if your humidity is too high, your air conditioner will work harder to cool your home, costing you more money, without ever achieving the comfort you expect.

This is where your air conditioner can benefit from a humidifier. It works alongside your current heating and cooling system, accessing flowing water from your plumbing system, giving you the right level of humidity for your home.

Inappropriate humidity levels cause negative ramifications of distress. With both lower and higher humidity levels, respiratory illnesses can start appearing and physical damage to your home occurs.

What Are Signs of Too Low Humidity?

A whole-house humidifier will add a suitable amount of humidity to your home when your levels are too low, especially when your heater is running during the cooler months. We recommend an ideal level of 35 to 40 percent. Any lower than this, and you may notice some these signs of too low humidity levels in your home:

  • Respiratory issues
  • Allergies or congestion
  • Cracked wood furniture, instruments, floors, or structural elements
  • Nose bleed
  • Sore throat
  • Pronounced snoring
  • Headaches
  • Dry skin
  • Excessive static electricity

What Are the Benefits of a Whole-House Humidifier?

When you install a whole-house humidifier, in addition to the leading benefit of increased home comfort, you will reap others as well:

  • Lower energy bills, particularly heating costs
  • Better physical health
  • Protection for wood home contents like furniture, instruments, floors, or structural elements
