If you’re a native of Alabama or the South, it’s likely that when you hear “humidity,” your mind goes to the miserable humidity we experience every summer. Could you imagine actually welcoming humidity into your home to create a comfortable environment?
The cool winter air is often very dry, which is when your whole home’s humidification system kicks in to create a comfortable environment for your home and your family. Our team at Dixie Electric, Plumbing & Air can help you select the ideal whole house humidification system and take care of the installation so that you can enjoy everything about the winter without sacrificing your comfort due to chilly weather.

A whole house humidifier, or a central humidifier, connects to your home’s HVAC system, and uses the moisture from your home’s water supply to keep the humidity levels balanced in your home. One of the main differences between a central humidifier system and a portable humidifier system is the elimination of a tank that needs to be filled manually, which can leave standing water where bacteria and mold can grow, causing issues for your home’s air quality.
At Dixie Electric, Plumbing & Air, we do recommend using a water filtration system with your home’s central humidification system, as this can help to remove any impurities, creating a healthier environment within your home and eliminating any minerals that could build up on your walls. We feature humidifiers by Aprilaire and help our clients choose the best option for their home.
