We’re all too familiar with dry air in New Mexico. While we’re used to the arid outdoor climate, that doesn’t mean we have to put up with dry air inside our homes, causing dry skin and congested noses. If you’re looking to refresh your indoor air, contact our team at ACE Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, and Electric to learn about humidifier installation in Albuquerque, NM.
A humidifier adds moisture to your indoor air, helping you feel better and breathe easier. Our service pros can expertly handle all aspects of your humidifier installation service, and we even offer routine humidifier maintenance and repair services to help keep your appliance working like a dream.
If your home has a duct system, there are several different types of whole-house humidifiers. Let’s dive into three types of humidifiers our team at ACE can install in your home.
An evaporative humidifier—sometimes called a pad humidifier—is a very common type of humidifier for residual properties. It works by pushing warm air over a water-covered humidifier pad, causing the water to evaporate and sending moisture throughout your home. The water that runs over your humidifier pad comes directly from your water line.
A steam humidifier uses electricity to boil water, creating steam and sending it into the air inside your home. The steam from boiling water is distributed through your house’s ventilation system. Steam humidifiers offer more consistent indoor moisture levels than other types of humidifiers.
Bypass humidifiers are hooked up directly to your HVAC system and draw the airflow out of your furnace to push warm air over a water tray, sending moisture into our indoor air. While these types of humidifiers reuse water and won’t spike your water bill, they are not known for being energy-efficient.
If you don’t have ductwork in your home, there are plenty of console humidifiers that can provide considerable comfort and relief from dry air. Contact our team to learn all about your options for both whole-house and console humidifier installation in Albuquerque, NM.
