Enjoy a More Comfortable Home with Whole-Home Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers

Lennox_Elite-Brand_Day_18262-808x606-1

Lennox humidifiers and dehumidifiers in Fredericksburg, Virginia, help your space feel more comfortable at an energy-focused setting.

When you envision a humidifier or dehumidifier, you might think of lugging a portable model from room to room (and spilling water as you go).  Lennox whole-home solutions erase all of those irritations, because they match with your HVAC system.

During the cold days, Lennox humidifiers let you avoid dry air in your home. This helps relieve chapped skin and respiratory issues. Since properly humidified air seems more comfortable, you can set your thermostat lower and save more on heating expenses.

In the summer, a whole-home dehumidifier sucks liquid from the air. This makes your space appear less muggy and hot while discouraging mold and mildew production.

Even when there’s increased humidity in the air outside, dehumidified air can help your home seem cooler. And allow you to hold your thermostat higher. Placing it only two degrees hotter can create a substantial difference and save you up to 5–7% on your cooling costs.

If you don’t currently have a Lennox furnace or air conditioner, don’t worry. Select humidity control systems can work with any brand or model. Contact the Childress Heating & AC heating and cooling experts at (540) 373-1403 as soon as possible. We’ll help you choose the right system for your space.

Dehumidifier vs. Humidifier—Which One to Choose for Your Home

With numerous types of humidifiers and dehumidifiers to choose from, it can be confusing knowing what’s right for your needs. Here’s how you can tell if you need to add or remove moisture from your house’s air.

Eight Signs You Should Buy a Dehumidifier

You could have surplus moisture in your house if you have any of the following issues:
  1. Routinely damp areas in your home
  2. Musty smells
  3. Splintering or cracking paint
  4. Condensation areas on your ceiling
  5. Oppressive or sweaty feeling in the air
  6. Cold spots or condensation on the windows
  7. Flaking wallpaper
  8. Adjusting your thermostat or turning on cooling frequently to feel more comfortable

Nine Signals You Need to Find a Humidifier

Dry environments are often described as being an optimal place to live, but they also have their disadvantages. Cold temperatures in any climate can also make for issues indoors. Excess dry air can cause:
  1. Respiratory illnesses
  2. Sore throat or excessive coughing
  3. Dry, irritated nasal passages
  4. Dry, itchy skin
  5. Dry lips
  6. Static shock
  7. Peeling or cracked wallpaper
  8. Distorted or cracked wood
  9. Damage to household items

I highly recommend Childress Heating & Air. They have been our HVAC maintenance service providers since we moved into our house, earlier this year. They are professional, courteous and respectful. We had to replace an HVAC system recently and the experience was fantastic.
