Whether you need to install a humidifier or dehumidifier depends on the RH you can achieve naturally. It’s imperative to keep RH at 60% or below in the summer to avoid mold and minimize dust mites. Experts recommend 30% to 50% as an ideal range. If you can’t reach 60% or 50% in summer, then you need a dehumidifier. If you can’t reach 30% in winter, you need a humidifier.
Dehumidifiers remove water vapor from the air. Whole-home systems can maintain a consistent RH throughout an entire house. That not only improves comfort but also indoor air quality. Dehumidifiers have the added benefit of making air conditioning more efficient. Dehumidification can lower your household energy consumption overall in the summertime and extend the lifespan of your ducted or ductless AC.
Humidifiers function by adding water vapor to your indoor air. Whole-home systems tend to do this via steam because it’s effective and efficient for large areas. A challenge with portable humidifiers is that you have to keep filling them. If a portable humidifier runs out of water, it stops functioning. This isn’t the case with home-wide systems. We’ll plumb it into your house’s plumbing so that it gets all the water it needs automatically.
Whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers require annual maintenance at minimum. You may also need humidifier and dehumidifier repair from time to time. Both can experience power problems, such as tripped circuit breakers, as well as issues with thermostats and humidistats. You should watch for mustiness and other unpleasant smells as well. Another problematic sign includes unusual noises, such as any clicking or grinding.
Residential humidifiers and dehumidifiers can provide many potential health benefits.
Improved cognitive function
Better skin and hair health
More restful sleep and less snoring
Reduced allergy and asthma symptoms
Less respiratory irritation and inflammation

Mason the service technician was GREAT, came out on a recall after the heat would not kick in. Went above and beyond to make sure it was working before he left. Fluke mishap of a connection working loose.
