Humidifier Install & Repair

When it comes to choosing a humidifier, Edmonton homeowners have two options:

• Portable humidifier
• Whole home humidifier

Portable units are the cheapest option – they are easy to find and use and require no installation. However, most portable humidifiers can only maintain proper humidity levels in one or two rooms. As well, portable units require a lot of maintenance. This includes regularly filling the water reservoir and consistently cleaning the unit to maintain optimal air quality and minimize bacteria and viruses.

A whole-home system, although more expensive up front, requires much less maintenance and can maintain optimal humidity levels throughout your home. 

For Edmonton homeowners, whole-home humidifiers (also known as furnace humidifiers or in-duct humidifiers) are the best option. 

Whole home systems can be installed in residential homes with forced-air heating systems. These humidifiers use the air ducts and plumbing system to deliver consistent humidity levels. Best of all, once installed, a whole home humidifier will provide reliable home comfort without needing to lift a finger!

Some of the best whole-home humidifier brands in Edmonton include:

• Carrier
• Comfortmaker
• Ducane
• RunTru
• Goodman
• AirEase
• Daikin, etc.

If you’re facing a frozen AC coil, there are a few things you can try. Start by setting your thermostat to high and Fan Only mode for a few hours. If this doesn’t work, it could be a more significant issue, such as a refrigerant leak or a dirty coil. In such cases, it’s best to contact the experts for assistance.

If humidity is too low in your house, this can lead to many different issues. Some of the most common problems created by low humidity in Edmonton homes include:

• Itchy, dry, cracked skin
• Sore, dry throat and nose
• Frequent nose bleeds
• Respiratory issues and difficulty breathing
• Lung and sinus problems
• Increased chance of colds
• Dust irritation
• Increased shocks from static electricity 

In addition to these physical effects, low humidity can damage hardwood flooring, wood furniture, paint, and wallpaper (causing it to crack/peel). Low humidity also makes it more challenging to maintain proper air temperature. Dry air is more difficult to heat. Therefore, your furnace will be forced to work harder to keep your home warm. As a result, you’ll have higher heating bills, and your furnace may experience more frequent repairs and a shorter lifespan

You’ll need to increase the humidity level if you have low relative humidity in your Edmonton home. The best way to fix low relative humidity is to install a whole-home humidifier. This specialized home comfort appliance will significantly improve your indoor air quality and allow you to live more comfortably.

There are many benefits to maintaining good humidity levels in your Edmonton home with a whole home humidifier system. These benefits include:

• Creating a healthier indoor environment
• Making your home more comfortable
• Saving energy (moist air is easier to heat)
• Protecting wood furniture, hardwood flooring, and paint (low humidity can destroy these things)
• Decreasing static electricity, etc.

Maintaining the proper humidity level in your Edmonton home is essential! If the humidity level in your house is too low or too high, your home will be uncomfortable – and you could run into a host of health issues.

Proper indoor humidity is critical in the winter, as Edmonton gets extremely cold, forcing residents to stay inside the majority of the day.

If your skin feels dry and it’s more difficult to breathe than usual, you may have improper humidity levels in your Edmonton home. In this case, the humidity level is likely too low. Thus, you and your family are breathing stale, dry air instead of crisp, refreshing air. 

Luckily, there are several ways to fix the low humidity level in your Edmonton home.

• Hang-dry wet clothes or towels in exceptionally dry rooms
• Place a container of water near your heating system
• Use a room humidifier
• Install a whole home humidifier

There are numerous benefits of professional installation of a whole home humidifier system.

First and foremost, a professional humidifier installation company, like ProSolutions Inc., will help you choose the correct size humidifier for your Edmonton home. Choosing the right size humidifier is essential. That’s because a humidifier that is too small will provide no real benefit. On the other hand, if a humidifier is too big, it will waste energy for no reason!

In addition to helping you pick the proper size humidifier for your home, a professional humidifier installation company will guarantee that your system is installed and calibrated properly for the local conditions. This will ensure maximum home comfort and optimal performance. As a result, your humidifier will run efficiently and effectively for years to come.

Experts like ProSolutions will tell you that it’s best to have at least two-thirds of your vents left open for best operation of your AC system. It is far harder to cool down a house versus keeping it at a constant temperature. 

Furnace filters should be changed every three months. Regularly changing your filter will ensure the air quality inside your home, as well as the safety and comfort of you and your family. In addition, regularly changing the filter will ensure your furnace doesn’t overheat, resulting in damage or an unexpected breakdown.

Preventative maintenance like this extends the longevity of your furnace and helps reduce maintenance and repair fees.

Not sure how long ago your filter was changed or if it needs to be replaced? A heating services provider can take a look at your filter and let you know if it should be replaced with a new one.
