Maintaining your home's humidity at a comfortable level, especially during the winter, can be challenging. That's why our team can install a whole-house humidifier to increase the air's moisture to the appropriate level.
Indoor heating systems often dry out the air further, but whole-house humidifiers can counterbalance this effect and keep the indoor relative humidity at a comfortable level.
Proper humidity levels in your home are essential to prevent health issues, such as dry nasal passages that can lead to sore throats and coughs, and they also help ease symptoms for those with allergies and asthma.
Improving your home's humidity can also reduce static electricity and prevent your wood furniture, doors, and floors from shrinking during the dry season.
Since dry air feels colder than humid air, using a whole-house humidifier may help keep your energy bills lower in the winter, as the air will feel warmer.
Conversely, as temperatures climb during Minnesota's summer months, the humidity increases as well. The muggy air outside leads to excessive humidity indoors, which feels equally thick and unbearable. Although your air conditioner can help reduce some of the humidity in your home, it may not be able to handle all of it.
In addition to causing discomfort, high humidity levels in your home can create a breeding ground for contaminants like mold and bacteria, which can be harmful to your health if they circulate through your vents.
For the most effective and energy-efficient solution to remove humidity from your home, consider installing a whole-house dehumidifier. It can be integrated into your home’s heating and cooling system and will work seamlessly with your systems to lower moisture levels to a comfortable and safe range.
Even if you strive to maintain a clean home and fresh indoor air, it can still become more polluted than the air outside. Without the introduction of fresh air, indoor air becomes stagnant.
This stale air can worsen asthma and other respiratory issues, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, dry eyes, headaches, and nasal congestion.
If you encounter this problem in your home, installing an air exchanger in your current cooling or heating system can be beneficial. As the name suggests, air exchangers swap the air between outdoor and indoor environments. They replace indoor air filled with particles and toxins with clean, fresh outdoor air.
If you're concerned about outdoor air bringing in harmful particles, rest assured. An air filter is connected to the air exchanger to ensure that incoming air is cleansed of allergens, dust, and other pollutants.
To maintain optimal indoor air quality, consider adding an air filtration or HEPA filtration system to your heating or cooling setup. Although these systems don't sanitize the air like an air purifying system, they effectively clean the air by eliminating impurities and contaminants.
Air filtration systems function by using internal fans to draw air into your home. This air is then filtered through a series of filters that trap pollutants and irritants before being released back into your living space.
Filters vary in their ability to remove different particles from the air. HEPA filters are regarded as the best, with a high efficiency in capturing airborne particles such as dust, dander, mold spores, and pollen.
Regularly changing these filters is crucial to maintaining the desired air quality, but minimal other maintenance is needed to keep these systems operational. Let our team assist you in selecting the right air filtration system for your home!
Certain areas in your home, such as the kitchen and bathroom, tend to generate more odors, moisture, and pollutants. To effectively control these excess levels of humidity and contaminants, it's advisable to install a venting fan system that extracts them from your home and expels them outside.
Exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens are designed to remove odors, cooking smoke, and the high humidity from hot showers by drawing air into ducts that lead outside. This results in fresher air and reduced humidity when it's most needed.
