Humidifier Services in the Bay Area

If your home’s air quality is dry and uncomfortable or causes itchy skin, allergies or asthma, or cracked wood flooring or cabinetry, consider a whole-house humidifier. Keeping your home humidified works wonders on furniture, floors, and skin.

While installing a humidifier looks easy in DIY videos, it requires ductwork and electrical work that might breach your manufacturer’s warranty and increase insurance premiums if not done by a pro. Rely on our team to avoid the risk of shock, fire, and safety hazards, and to ensure all work adheres to strict safety standards and is up to code.

AIS Heating & Air Conditioning is a locally and family-owned HVAC business that delivers superior heating and cooling services to Bay Area customers. We treat our customers like family, so you can expect transparent pricing, straight-forward HVAC financing, and online specials.

Why You May Need a Whole-House Humidifier

Humidity levels can affect your home comfort. If the air is too humid or too dry, it can cause more allergy-like symptoms. Recommended indoor humidity levels are between 30% and 50% indoors.

Because the body is mostly made of water, it requires a certain moisture balance. Health issues from too-dry air include respiratory problems, skin irritations, allergy aggravation, and increased susceptibility to infections.

Dry air can also affect your home and belongings. Signs the air is too dry include wood damage and cracked musical instruments because wood is porous.

Benefits of Whole-House Humidifiers

The many benefits of whole-house humidifiers include:

• Improved overall health and sleep quality: Adding moisture to dry air can reduce allergy-like symptoms and improve rest, i.e., REM sleep, where cells repair themselves.
• Prevention of dry nasal passages: Good respiratory health can reduce sicknesses and phlegm and increase breathing comfort.
• Reduced allergy and asthma symptoms: Humidifiers can improve mucous membrane health, decrease asthma symptoms, and prevent airborne allergens (fungi, bacteria) from entering your lungs.
• Alleviation of dry skin and scalp: Skin health will improve with more hydration, reducing the need for moisturizers. Refreshed skin is less prone to microorganisms and eczema.
• Reduction of bacteria and infections: Adjusting humidity can reduce bacterial growth and decrease ear, throat, and sinus infections.
• Lower utility bills: Based on the Integrated Energy Factor (IEF), ENERGY STAR® humidifiers can help lower annual energy costs by up to 15%.

How Humidifiers Work

In exploring the basic principles of humidification, portable humidifiers use misters that release a fine mist of water particles into the air at routine intervals.

Whole-home humidifiers are usually installed in your home’s ductwork to treat incoming/outgoing airflow. To help adjust the moisture levels, vaporizers evaporate water and turn it into steam, which is then released through the ducts.

While newer HVAC systems can include built-in humidifiers, if you want to integrate a humidifier with your HVAC system, talk to our knowledgeable teams. We can recommend the best type of humidifier based on your energy consumption, heating/cooling needs, coverage area, and capacity.

Types of whole-house humidifiers include:

• Bypass: These use a drain and pull warm air from your HVAC into wet padding.
• Evaporative: This self-regulating option uses a wick to draw in water and blow the vapor.
• Fan: These blow moisture into the air from sitting water.
• Steam: Steam humidifiers use energy but are more effective at emitting vapor from boiled water.
