Whole-House Humidifier Installation

When the winter cold hits the Kansas City area, you have to deal with snow, ice, and brutally cold air temperatures. If that wasn’t enough, the freezing weather also prompts the stale, dry air in your home when you turn your furnace on. Between dry skin, chapped lips, and cracking floors and furniture, it seems like you can’t catch a break (even in the warmth of your home!). So what can you do about it?

The colder temperatures outside and furnace-heated air inside lead to a severe lack of moisture in the air—the same moisture that makes spring air so nice and comfortable. Fortunately, it’s extremely easy to get that back and raise your home’s humidity level! Before you turn on your furnace this coming winter, call Top Notch and ask about whole home humidifier installation your Kansas City home. Humidifiers can do much more than make you more comfortable in the winter—they can also keep you healthier and help your furnace run more efficiently!

A whole-house humidifier is installed by connecting it to your HVAC system so that the entire home can feel the benefits of higher humidity levels. Humidity is the amount of moisture in the air, and dry air from a furnace is what causes chapped lips, static electricity, and dry and flaky skin. Adding moisture to the air during the winter by installing a whole-home humidifier can create humid air in your home. Just like when it’s humid outside, the air will feel warmer in your home, so you may even set the thermostat a little lower, which can help you save money.

Types of Humidifiers

There are a number of different types of humidifiers you can install in your KS or MO home to make it more comfortable this winter:

• Steam humidifiers
• Flow through (bypass) humidifiers
• Wicking humidifiers

Humidifier Replacement in Lenexa, KS
