Ideally, most households should maintain a relative humidity (RH) between 30% and 50%. That can be difficult to do through heating and cooling alone. The solution is a whole-house humidifier and dehumidifier installation in South Sioux City, NE. Kalins Indoor Comfort offers many humidity control systems that will help you achieve and maintain your ideal RH. Our HVAC technicians also perform a full range of humidifier and dehumidifier repair services.
Professional Humidifier and Dehumidifier Installation
While Nebraska winters generally stay above 40% RH in winter, you can easily experience lower levels inside. This is especially true if you heat your home with a furnace. A whole-home humidifier will offset this problem by infusing the air with water vapor. We install bypass humidifiers that complement fuel-burning furnaces. There are also powered humidifiers for dealing with more substantial home-wide humidity issues.
All humidity control equipment requires annual service for cleaning and to avoid the need for unexpected humidifier and dehumidifier repair. Both residential humidifiers and dehumidifiers may need humidistat calibration and other fixes from time to time. If the air smells bad when your humidifier runs, it likely indicates microbial growth in the unit. Plumbing problems may stop a humidifier from working. You may also experience electrical issues, including a bad solenoid.
It’s important to keep summer RH below 60% for mold, mildew, and dust mite prevention. For comfort, many experts recommend 50% or below. A dehumidifier helps you achieve a lower RH by removing water vapor from the air. It also drains that condensation outside the home automatically. A dehumidifier has the added advantage of making your air conditioning system more effective and efficient.
The most common issues with dehumidifiers are drainage-related. If there’s a clog, the system can’t drain, and the wet switch will trip it to protect against flooding. Frost can build up on the coils, which is a sign of inadequate airflow. Microbial growth is a potential issue with dehumidifiers as well. It can make you quite sick if you don’t deal with it promptly.
Watch for the signs your home needs humidity control:
Mold or mildew
Difficulty sleeping
Peeling paint or wallpaper
Eye, noise, or skin irritation
Heightened allergy symptoms
Uncomfortable cooling or heating
