Common Repairs for Whole House Humidifiers
If you notice any of the following happening with your Whole House Humidifier System, make sure to call Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling and inquire about our Expert Whole House Humidifier Services as soon as possible:
Power Issues
When your Whole House Humidifier is experiencing power issues, it is usually due to the humidistat. The humidistat senses the humidity levels and communicates to the unit when to power on. If your Whole House Humidifier is experiencing power issues, call Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling for assistance on repairing the humidistat.
Additionally, if your Whole House Humidifier System will not turn off, the valve is probably stuck open. When your system is continuously running that means the water will not stop running either which can become problematic. If your Whole House Humidifier System will not turn on or is having difficulty turning off, you will need to have a certified technician from Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling diagnose and repair the issue.
Leaking
One of the most common issues with Whole House Humidifier Systems is leaking. Many of these systems have a water reservoir and when they become clogged or obstructed, it can cause the reservoir to leak. If your Whole House Humidifier System is leaking in your Greensboro, NC home, call Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling to have it serviced.
Lack of Steam
You can ensure your Whole House Humidifier System is working when producing humidity and steam. If you notice your unit not producing humidity or steam, there is likely a clog in the intake or drain lines or an issue with either the solenoid or humidistat. In either case, you will need to contact Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling to have the issue repaired and restored to normal working condition.
Humidity Issues
Whole House Humidifier Systems rely on an evaporator pad or panel to provide humidity. If you are noticing that your Whole House Humidifier is receiving water but is not providing sufficient humidity for your Greensboro, NC home, then you will need to have Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling come out to fix the panel.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY
Joel & Brandon came out today to do our Winter Service on our heating system, Just Great Technicians. All the courtesies of putting shoe covers on to asking about the system. They were able to correct a minor issue that could have turned into a major problem. They did not rush through the service call just First Class Service from start to finish. The office staff called and sent emails reminders prior to the service call and informed us when the Technicians were 15 Minutes from our home.
The Master Plumbers Heated & Cooling Staff were awesome. We trust them with our needs.
I highly recommend Master Plumbers Heating &Cooling. The technician name was Terry. he walked us through with what was wrong and what needed to be fixed. The lady I spoke with at the office was very nice and set up the appointment when I wanted it.
Again I highly recommend them.
Truly a professional company. Lee and his team showed up on time, quickly diagnosed the issue and gave us options after a quick inspection of other required maintenance. Will recommend Master Plumbers to all family and friends in the area.
Thank you for your prompt response and great customer service.
Me and my wife were in desperate need of a new HVAC system. Bailey came out to talk to us about our options. Once we settled on one she worked around our schedules and got our install scheduled. The professionalism and communication from everyone involved was more than 5 stars. Terry and Bailey came out and installed our new unit. Lee came in to give a quality check and to help wrap things up.
I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Great job guys!
Great service! Bailey was extremely nice along with her co worker Peter. They did very thorough work and came to the conclusion of our issue along with giving recommendations.
I would absolutely recommend anytime.
Terry came out today with Anthony, a gentleman he was training. Terry and Anthony greeted me professionally, wore their booties, did the necessary work, and came back in to report their findings. They offered me three options for additional service and then tailored a fourth option for me.
Terry is fantastic and is the reason I continue with Master Plumbers. He is awesome and I genuinely believe if Terry says something is bad, it is.
Air Duct Repair FAQs
Does my humidifier need to be cleaned?
Yes, your humidifier needs to be cleaned. You should clean your humidifier whenever you change your air filters, which you should change every three to six months. If you are using tap water, it is especially necessary to clean your humidifier to keep your unit functioning.
Over time, minerals from tap water, dust, and other debris can accumulate in your humidifier, leading to reduced efficiency and potential health risks. Cleaning your humidifier not only helps it function optimally but also prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Regular cleaning is especially important if you’re using tap water in your humidifier, as it can introduce minerals and impurities that accelerate buildup and reduce the unit’s efficiency.
By incorporating these maintenance habits, you can extend the life of your humidifier and ensure it continues to provide clean, healthy moisture to your indoor air. If you have any questions or need assistance, contact Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling for expert guidance and Humidifier Services!
Does my humidifier need to be serviced?
Like any other HVAC system, your humidifier needs to be serviced. To keep your humidifier in proper working order, you’ll need to have your humidifier professionally serviced by Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling at least once a year. Humidifiers are complex systems that require professional attention. It’s a good idea to have your yearly preventative maintenance done on your humidifier in the fall when you have your HVAC system serviced. Preventative maintenance will help prevent repairs and extend the life of your unit greatly.
Humidifiers are complex systems with components that require specialized attention to function properly. Annual preventative maintenance helps identify and address potential issues before they turn into costly repairs, ensuring your unit works smoothly throughout the year.
We recommend scheduling your humidifier services in the fall, ideally when you’re having your HVAC system serviced. This timing prepares your entire system for the colder months ahead.
Why are humidifiers used more in heating than cooling?
When cool outdoor air enters a home it tends to dry out as it warms up, which increases the static electricity in the home and can cause sinus issues. Adding a humidifier will help to add moisture back into the air and limit sinus problems. In the summer, even with outdoor relative humidity hovering around the single digits, the humidity in your home tends to be around 40%. The average comfort range for relative humidity in a home is between 35 to 45%.
Benefits of Maintaining Optimal Indoor Humidity
1. Healthier Living Environment: Proper humidity levels reduce the risk of sinus irritation, dry skin, and respiratory issues. They also help decrease the spread of airborne viruses, which thrive in excessively dry air.
2. Protection for Your Home: Wood furniture, flooring, and other materials are sensitive to changes in humidity. Maintaining balanced humidity levels prevents warping, cracking, and other damage.
3. Increased Comfort: Ideal humidity levels make your home feel warmer in the winter, reducing the need to overwork your heating system and saving on energy costs.
4. Reduced Static Electricity: Proper moisture levels in the air help to minimize annoying and potentially harmful static shocks.
By investing in a humidifier, you can ensure that your home stays within the optimal comfort range, regardless of the season. Regular maintenance of your humidifier is also key to keeping it functioning efficiently and effectively year-round. For professional installation and service, trust Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling to keep your indoor air comfortable and balanced. Contact us today to learn more!
Do humidifiers help with allergies?
Yes, humidifiers can absolutely help with allergies. Humidifiers can help reduce allergy symptoms and improve the health of the mucous membranes of the airway, if properly maintained. If neglected, humidifiers can actually worsen allergy symptoms and even cause other illnesses as bacteria and fungi can grow, which can be dangerous when inhaled and breathed into your lungs. To avoid this, all you have to do is have your humidifier professionally maintained by Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling at least once a year and your humidifier will help with allergies.
How Humidifiers Help with Allergies
1. Moisturizing Nasal Passages: Dry air can irritate nasal passages and exacerbate allergy symptoms. A humidifier keeps these passages moist, making it easier for your body to trap and remove allergens.
2. Reducing Airborne Allergens: Proper humidity levels can help weigh down allergens like dust and pollen, preventing them from remaining airborne and reducing your exposure.
3. Improving Sleep Quality: Allergies often worsen at night due to dry air and congestion. A humidifier can help alleviate these symptoms, allowing you to sleep more comfortably.
The Importance of Maintenance
While humidifiers can greatly alleviate allergy symptoms, they require regular upkeep to remain effective and safe. Without proper maintenance, they can become a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and fungi. When these harmful microorganisms are released into the air, they can worsen allergy symptoms and even lead to respiratory illnesses.
To ensure your humidifier is helping—not hurting—your air quality:
• Clean Regularly: Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions to prevent buildup of minerals and microorganisms.
• Use Distilled Water: Avoid tap water, which can introduce minerals that contribute to scale buildup.
• Schedule Professional Maintenance: Have your humidifier professionally inspected and maintained at least once a year by the experts at Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling. Our team will clean, inspect, and fine-tune your humidifier to keep it operating efficiently and safely.
A properly maintained humidifier is an excellent ally in combating allergies, creating a healthier and more comfortable living environment. Trust Master Plumbers Heating and Cooling to ensure your humidifier works effectively year-round. Contact us today to schedule your annual maintenance and breathe easier!
