Common Reasons For Humidifier Repair
If you have a humidifier, it’s helpful to be aware of the signs that let you know you need to get it repaired by a professional. Below are some key symptoms to note.
Problems With Power
Power issues may be caused by a problem with the humidistat, which is the part of your humidifier system that tells it to turn on due to increased humidity in the air. Our team at Pioneer can fix your humidistat.
Leaks
Because whole-home humidifiers often include a reservoir of water, they can leak if they become backed up. These leaks can be repaired by our HVAC professionals.
Too Little Steam
A clear sign your humidifier is working as it should is when you notice steam emanating from the device. Lack of steam can be the result of an intake or drain line clog or another malfunctioning component.
Not Enough Humidity
You may need your evaporator panel or pad repaired if you’re not getting enough humidity produced by your humidifier.
Strange Sounds
Some noise is normal, however your humidifier shouldn’t be especially loud. If you hear buzzing or clanking, that may be a mechanical issue that requires professional attention such as an unlubricated motor.
FAQs About Repairing Your Humidifier
We’ve put together answers to a few common questions received by customers about humidifier repair in Nashville, TN.
What types of humidifiers do you repair?
The three main humidifier types we repair at Pioneer are:
- Bypass Humidifiers: This type of humidifier connects to your HVAC system. They use air blown from your furnace across a water tray. They are cheaper to install, upfront, but are a less-energy-efficient form of humidifier.
- Steam Humidifiers: Using electricity, water is heated to create steam that is sent through the ductwork. They’re known for their precision when it comes to humidifying an area but can cost more to install and operate.
- Fan-Powered Humidifiers: Similar to the bypass style of humidifier, they work directly with your HVAC system and a water tray but add in a fan to blow the air over the tray. They’re more expensive than bypass humidifiers but less than steam.
How long does it take to repair a humidifier?
Humidifier repair is generally a quick process, taking just an hour or two in a single visit. It may take longer if your problem is more complex or you need parts ordered.
Does humidifier repair improve indoor air quality?
Yes, a well-functioning humidifier can improve the indoor air quality in your home through the reduction of static electricity and making it easier to breathe.
How can I prevent the need for humidifier repair?
The best way to avoid the need for costly repairs is to invest in humidifier maintenance. This includes cleaning the unit, replacing any worn-down parts, and checking the overall performance of the humidifier.
