A whole house humidifier can help.
A whole house humidifier consists of 2 parts: a
humidifier and a humidistat. The humidifier is mounted on your supply or return
duct work near the furnace or air handler. A nearby water line is taped into
with an adjustable saddle valve to bring water into the humidifier. The
humidistat is adjustably set to a desired humidity level within the home. When
the humidity level falls below this desired level, it activates the
 humidifier
when the furnace blower is on. The water is dispersed over a distribution tray
which directs the water to flow evenly across a water panel and finally into a
drain. The water panel helps collect minerals and solid residues produced by
hard water which otherwise would be distributed throughout the house as white
dust. The remaining minerals and residues are flushed down a drain and out of
the system to prevent malfunction of the equipment and the production of white
dust in the home. The dry air from your home is then forced through the wetted
panel and the now-humidified air carrying water as a vapor is distributed
throughout the home.
Swift Air Mechanical has been installing and
servicing whole house humidifiers for years. The principle behind a whole house
humidifier is simple: Humidity is added to the dry air coming from your heating
system and distributed throughout your home through ventilation ducts. Simply
set the humidistat to a comfortable level, and the humidifier will automatically
adjust the humidity level. It's an easy, effective way to distribute humidified
air to every room in your home. For approximately $15 to $20 a season, you can
gain relief of the dreaded, uncomfortable symptoms caused by dry air. You will
also protect your home and furnishings from damaging shrinkage due to dryness.
You might even see a savings on your heating bill because moist air feels warmer
than dry air, so you can turn down your thermostat and save money. Swift Air
Mechanical only carries and installs the best quality and technologically
advanced products in the industry. We carry the complete lines of whole house
humidifiers manufactured by Aprilaire and Honeywell. With such a large selection
to choose from, you can be assured we will recommend the humidifier that will
provide the optimum humidity levels to increase your personal comfort and
preserve your home and furnishings.
