Baltimore Humidifier and Dehumidifier Services
Most homes feel the most comfortable with a humidity level between 30-50%. With proper indoor humidity, you may be able to raise the AC or lower the furnace and feel just as comfortable. As a result, using humidifiers and dehumidifiers can lessen the strain on your HVAC system. This will, in turn, allow your HVAC to last longer and need less repairs, saving you money.
In the winter, using forced air to heat your house can cause your air to become too dry. Dry air can cause you to experience dry skin, itchy eyes, and chapped lips. It can also affect your house. If you notice cracks in wood, plaster, or leather furniture, your humidity levels may be too low.
In contrast, being on the Eastern Seaboard, Baltimore’s summers can get quite humid. A dehumidifier can help remove some of the humidity and lower the number of allergens in your indoor air. When you have too much humidity, it can cause mold to grow on your walls and ceiling. It also causes the air to feel oppressive and gives you that sticky feeling. High humidity also attracts certain pests like carpenter ants, termites, and wood-destroying beetles.
Humidity levels also affect your indoor plants. If the air is too dry, you will need to water them more frequently. If the air is too wet, it can cause certain diseases.
We can add whole-house dehumidifiers and humidifiers to your HVAC system to help manage the air’s moisture. This will ensure you won’t have to deal with all the problems associated with imbalanced humidity levels.
Controlling the humidity in your home has many benefits:
- Better comfort levels
- Lower energy costs
- Improved health
- Less repairs
Sometimes, humidifiers and dehumidifiers will need repairs. Fans can break, and the humidistat can malfunction. Whatever the problem is, our trained technicians can come fix it.
