Household Humidifier Systems & Installation

Household Humidifier Systems and Installation Service in Buffalo, NY and Surrounding Areas

Dry air is usually a big problem during the colder months of the year. This is because the combination of cool, outdoor air and forced furnace heat creates an environment lacking moisture. If you experience dry air in your home, it’s more than just a nuisance. Air that’s not properly humidified can have serious health and comfort implications. Optimal humidity can also help you stay warmer at cooler temperatures. That means you can lower your thermostat and save energy, thereby lowering your heating costs. At Zenner & Ritter, we often recommend installation of humidifiers in Buffalo, NY, to help control humidity levels, thereby increasing the comfort in your home.

Signs of Low Humidity

There are three major signs of dry air in a building. The first will often be an increase in static electricity. The second sign is dry, itchy skin, eyes, and throat, which can make breathing difficult. Low humidity may also cause woodwork or hardwood floors to crack. If you notice any of these issues, you may have a humidity problem.

Controlling Humidity

As noted above, dry air will not only make your indoor space uncomfortable, but will also make it difficult to feel warmer at normal temperatures, causing you to overheat your home. The best way to regulate humidity is to install a whole house humidifier. This is a device that adds moisture to the air, controlled by a humidistat that monitors the relative humidity in your home. In addition, a permanently installed furnace humidifier is supplied with water and won’t need to be refilled like a smaller, portable humidifier.
