Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers FAQs

Yes! Comfort Plus Services offers a full range of whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers, as well as smaller units. Our team will help you choose the right system for your needs, provide professional installation, and offer ongoing maintenance and repairs to ensure optimal indoor air quality and comfort.

If you notice dry skin, static electricity, or frequent nosebleeds in winter, your home may benefit from a humidifier. Signs you may need a dehumidifier include musty odors, visible mold or mildew, condensation on windows, or a sticky feeling indoors—especially common during humid Mid-Atlantic summers.

Whole-home humidifiers add moisture to dry indoor air, which can:

  • Reduce allergy and asthma symptoms
  • Protect wood floors and furniture from cracking
  • Improve skin and respiratory comfort
  • Lower heating bills (moist air feels warmer)

Absolutely. Balanced humidity (ideally between 30-50%) can reduce respiratory irritation, minimize the spread of airborne viruses, and make your home more comfortable for people with allergies or asthma.

A dehumidifier removes excess moisture, helping to:

  • Prevent mold and mildew growth
  • Reduce dust mites and allergens
  • Protect your home’s structure and furnishings
  • Make your air conditioning system more efficient

We can install humidifiers and dehumidifiers directly into your existing HVAC system, allowing them to treat the air throughout your entire home. Integrated controls make it easy to maintain ideal humidity levels year-round.

We also offer smaller and more economical stand-alone humidity control devices, so there’s an option for every space, need, and budget.

We recommend annual maintenance for both humidifiers and dehumidifiers. This includes cleaning, inspecting components, and replacing filters or pads as needed. Regular service keeps your system running efficiently and prevents bacteria or mold buildup.

Yes! Many modern Wi-Fi thermostats can monitor and adjust humidity levels automatically when paired with compatible humidifiers or dehumidifiers. This ensures consistent comfort and optimal indoor air quality with minimal effort.
