What Are the Benefits of Installing a Humidifier?

Humidifiers have benefits that extend far beyond just keeping your home or building more comfortable. With winter’s cooler air comes dry skin, irritated sinuses, and excessive snoring. However, a humidifier can relieve all of these symptoms. By keeping the air inside a property moist, a humidifier can prevent your skin from drying out, which alleviates issues with cracked lips and nose bleeds, and makes your skin feel healthier.

On top of that, the moisture created by a humidifier will prevent your throat from drying out. This keeps snoring to a minimum; while it won’t eliminate it completely, it will help reduce the intensity. Finally, sinuses are often irritated and sore as a result of the dryness. A humidifier will open them up and relieve the pain.

Countering Albuquerque’s Dry Climate

The high-desert climate of Albuquerque is known for its low humidity, especially during the colder months. This persistent dryness can significantly impact your comfort and health. By installing a whole-house humidifier, you are directly fighting the effects of our local environment. Increased air moisture helps your body better regulate its temperature and reduces the strain on your respiratory system, making your home a true oasis from New Mexico’s dry air.

What Are Some Common Problems?

Sometimes humidifiers will not produce the amount of moisture that is needed for your home or building. This can be due to a problem with the sponge or the pad, often because it has accumulated a large amount of mineral deposits. Another reason for this issue could be that the unit itself is not level. If you live in an area where your water supply has a large concentration of minerals the water inlet may become clogged. If you haven’t already done so consider investing in an effective water softening system. Humidifiers can also leak from time to time. If the drain line becomes blocked, it can cause leaks to spring up along the line. Extremely high water pressure can also contribute to the problem.

Addressing Mineral Buildup from Albuquerque’s Water

A very common issue we see in Albuquerque is the impact of hard water on humidifier units. Many areas of Bernalillo County have water with high mineral content (calcium and magnesium). When this water is evaporated by your humidifier, these minerals are left behind, leading to a rapid buildup of scale and mineral deposits on the water panel or sponge. This buildup significantly reduces your unit’s efficiency. Regular maintenance is essential, but if you have extremely hard water, considering an effective water softening system can drastically extend the life and performance of your humidifier.

What Type of Maintenance Is Required for These Units?

If the humidifier begins to malfunction, the first place a technician will look is the water evaporator pad. These can become clogged with mineral deposits and prevent the humidifier from functioning properly. If that doesn’t solve the problem, the blower motor will be inspected. These motors have a limited lifespan and can often break down after extended use, reducing the capabilities of the humidifier. However, they can be easily replaced by a professional. Finally, the water inlet valve will be inspected. These often become clogged or stuck, reducing the amount of water the humidifier has access to. In cases like this, the humidifier will produce less moisture because it has less water to work with.

Seasonal Humidifier Start-Up and Shut-Down in New Mexico

To ensure your unit is ready for Albuquerque’s dry winter season and safely stored for the summer, proper seasonal maintenance is crucial. For your Winter Start-Up, a technician should inspect and replace the water panel or pad, thoroughly clean the unit’s components, and ensure the water feed line and drain are clear before you turn on your furnace. Conversely, during the Summer Shut-Down, it’s vital to turn off the water supply to the unit, remove and properly dry or replace the water panel, and clean out the reservoir. This essential step prevents stagnant water from becoming a breeding ground for mold and mildew while the unit is inactive during the warmer New Mexico months.
