Humidifiers

Protect your family and your home from the unhealthy and damaging effects of over-dry air. Dry nose, cracked, itchy skin, and sore throats. Aggravated allergy and asthma symptoms. Painful static shocks. Chipping paint and plaster. Splitting or cracked wood floors, furniture, trim and molding. Sound familiar? Why go through another season with these problems when there is a solution - a whole-house humidifier.

Turning your temperature up in the wintertime will keep you warm but won't increase your home's humidity level. Daily activities such as showering, cooking and doing laundry don't produce enough moisture to keep your home's air from being too dry. According to medical experts, many viruses thrive in low humidity increasing the likelihood of catching colds, flu and upper respiratory ailments. The American Society of Otolaryngology even reports that it is important to prevent an overly dry environment because it makes people more susceptible to infection.

A whole-house humidifier will deliver the perfect amount of moisture to your air making you feel more comfortable at lower thermostat settings. In fact, the EPA states that you can save up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat! Increase your family's level of comfort and protect your valuable furnishings by adding just the right amount of moisture with a whole-house humidifier installed by Tec Air Heating & Air Conditioning.

A whole-house humidifier is installed directly to your central new or existing heating and cooling system. Humidity is introduced into your home's air in the form of water vapor, which prevents minerals from entering the air in your home and potentially into your lungs. Water is supplied to the distribution tray, allowing it to flow evenly across the water panel. The resulting humidified air is then distributed via your heating and cooling system ductwork throughout your home.

Too much humidity can be as much of a problem as too little humidity. Unlike portable units, a whole-house humidifier can continually monitor relative humidity levels in your home, then work to deliver the right amount of moisture to your entire house. A whole-house humidifier doesn't require the daily cleaning and disinfecting that many portable units require and you never need to worry about the risk of microbial organism growth due to standing water.

A whole-house humidifier provides these important key benefits for your family and home.

Health

A whole-house humidifier can reduce the chance of upper respiratory problems. "Humidity reduces the incidence of respiratory infections and speeds recovery from the common cold." - William J. Hitschler, MD, Archives of Otolaryngology.

Comfort

When the air in your home becomes too dry, your body is robbed of precious moisture, leaving you and your family with dry, itchy skin, and dry nose and throat symptoms. A whole-house humidifier can help alleviate all of these uncomfortable symptoms and more.

Protection

Dry air pulls moisture from walls and hardwood floors which can lead to shrinkage or damaging, unsightly cracks. Valuable furniture, artwork and electronics are also subject to the adverse effects of dry air. A whole-house humidifier can help protect your home and its contents by supplying the correct amount of moisture to your home's air.

Energy Savings

Most homeowners turn up the thermostat because they feel cold. A whole-house humidifier allows you to feel warmer at lower thermostat settings, saving up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat, according to the EPA.
