Humidifier & Dehumidifier Services in Alexandria

Humidity plays a key role in the comfort, health, and safety of your home and family, and if the moisture levels are too low or too high, you could benefit from balanced humidity in your living space.

In an area like Alexandria, which experiences extreme weather throughout the year, a humidifier or dehumidifier can help improve the indoor air quality and prevent any issues associated with an excess or lack of humidity.

Contact us today to get a free estimate or to schedule HVAC services in the northern Virginia area.

Humidity Control Services

The best way to achieve a balanced indoor environment is with a whole-house approach to humidity control. Ideally, relative indoor humidity levels should be between 35% and 50%.

A reading that’s too low may cause damage to your structure, electronics, and health, while excess humidity may lead to the growth of mold or mildew and an increase in allergy symptoms.

Whole-house humidifiers and dehumidifiers work with your existing HVAC system to add or remove moisture to or from the air as needed. We offer a full range of humidity control services, including:

  • Humidifier installation
  • Humidifier repair
  • Humidifier replacement
  • Humidifier maintenance
  • Dehumidifier installation
  • Dehumidifier repair
  • Dehumidifier replacement
  • Dehumidifier maintenance

Whether your current humidity control system is approaching the end of its life or has stopped working, or if you’re installing one for the first time, our skilled technicians will help you find the right solution to suit your home, budget, and lifestyle.

We’ll complete the work right the first time, and our HVAC services come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee for added peace of mind.

Signs You Have a Humidity Issue

Summer heat and humidity can cause indoor moisture levels to rise, and while your AC can help, it may be ineffective, or you may not need it when temperatures are lower. Conversely, during the winter, you may find there’s too little moisture in your home due to your heating system.

While some symptoms of a problem with your indoor humidity levels are obvious, others can be subtle, but knowing what to look for is the first step toward resolving the issue. Signs you may need humidity control include:

Too much humidity:

  • Mold growth: Mold needs high concentrations of moisture to grow and can negatively impact your family’s health.
  • Discomfort: Excess humidity can cause your environment to feel hotter than it is.
  • Musty odors: Mold may grow in hidden areas such as a basement or ventilation system.

Too little humidity:

  • Health concerns: Irritation of the throat and sinuses, nosebleeds, dry skin, chapped lips, and more.
  • Damage to furniture and electronics: Wood may dry out and crack, while electronics may be negatively impacted by electrostatic electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a whole-house dehumidifier?

There are a few signs to watch out for that indicate you need a whole-house dehumidifier:

  • Condensation on most, if not all, of your windows.
  • High humidity throughout your home that comes with an oppressive, sticky sensation in the air and a persistent musty smell.
  • Water stains and mold are good indicators of a bad problem. They show up when there’s too much moisture.

Can a portable dehumidifier work for a whole house?

No. Portable units don’t have the power or capacity to handle your entire home. Excessive humidity in your home, especially on multiple levels, should be handled by a whole-house dehumidifier.

How long do whole-house dehumidifiers last?

Whole-house dehumidifiers can last eight years if properly maintained and used as directed.

What is a dehumidifier used for?

Dehumidifiers remove water from the air in your home until humidity levels reach the levels you’ve chosen.

Are dehumidifiers worth it?

Definitely. Dehumidifiers prevent problems related to dampness. When used correctly, they help prevent mold, water stains, and other problems. If your home is more prone to these issues, a good dehumidifier will keep you from paying for damage repair.
