Why Do I Need A Humidifier in My Home?

Humidifiers, when used in your home, solve multiple problems that can arise. The largest issue that arises is dry air. The specific issues with dry air in a home are numerous with the largest one being health reasons. You will also find structural damage and increase utility bills when dry air is prevalent.

Your Health

Health reasons are one of the large focus points for needing a humidifier. Low humidity can make it easier to catch and transmit cold and flu viruses. Cold dry air can aggravate asthma and static shock contributes to dry itchy skin.

Structural Damage

Second, dry air can lead to structural damage. It can cause walls, woodwork, and floors to crack. Most wood floor warranties do not cover damage caused by water and humidity changes.

Save Money

Third, there’s the impact it can have on your utility bills. Dry air can make you feel colder, and which then leads to your tendency to overheat your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for every degree you heat your home; you add 4 percent to your energy bill. So your whole house humidifier can save you money and make you feel warmer.

So let me summarize, a whole-house humidifier can help control and reduce your health issues which in turn makes you feel healthier, protect your home from damage, and increase your comfort while saving you money.

There are several options when it comes to selecting the best humidifier for your home. Contact your local heating and cooling professional to get expert advice on your options.

Red, White, and Blue

Red white & blue.

We see those colors and feel them in our hearts.

A sailor kissing that nurse in Times Square.

Marines raising a flag over Iwo Jima.

First responders rushing to the rescue.

Those colors mean we do our best.

We don’t give up.

We never quit.

And we care for our own.

Level 9’s colors are red white and blue as well. That was intentional.

We’re proud to serve, proud to give, proud to be Americans.

Red white and blue for a reason.

If It Makes Kids Sick, Kill It

I remember an old video game called “If it moves, shoot it.”

Really. That was the title.

I’d love that for my kid’s school. And my home!

If it makes kids sick, kill it.

That’s the idea with Level 9 Heating & Cooling FDA-approved air quality services.

Our tools kill 99.9% of the COVID virus on surfaces in 7 hours. And keeps on killing them. Deadly viruses today become dead viruses tomorrow.

“If it makes kids sick, kill it.”

See our website for details.

Luxuries & Necessities

“Take care of the luxuries. Necessities care for themselves.”

Frank Lloyd Wright said that. The 1st time I heard it, I laughed. That’s crazy talk. I had responsibilities: wife & kids, mortgage, and a job. Luxuries have to wait.

But when your furnace is dying and it’s freezing outside, is comfort really a luxury?

I don’t have an answer but I do have a solution.

Level 9 offers 0 percent interest for 60 months on any new Lennox furnace.

Fathers, Sons, and Brothers

If that phrase reminds you of people you love or miss or admire, then you should know the story of Henry Mucci. His team rescued 500 American POWs from certain death. Those fathers, sons, and brothers needed a hero. Here at Level 9, we admire people who do the right thing…especially when it’s easy not to. Maybe that’s corny, if so, we plead guilty. You’ve got to admit, though, if we all aspired to be heroic well, this would be a better place.

Why Do You Need an Air Scrubber This Season?

You need an air scrubber to purify your home, especially during the flu and cold season. When you’re sick and stuck in your house, bacteria tend to build up and contaminate the surfaces and air in your home. The Air Scrubber system substantially reduces odors, visible smoke, and microbial population on surfaces. It uses ActivePure technology to remove and neutralize contaminants in your air.

No one wants to clean a house when they’re not feeling well, so letting an Air Scrubber do the work for you is your best bet for an all-around cleaner and healthier atmosphere.

What is an Air Scrubber?

The Air Scrubber is an inline or portable air purification system that is used in your home to purify the air. The system rids your air of particles, gasses, and other chemicals in the air in your home. Having our team at Level 9 Heating & Cooling install an Air Scrubber can help you keep peace of mind that the air in your home is clean.

The Air Scrubber contains metal tubes on the inside that charge negative ions to destroy any pollutants moving through your HVAC system or other areas of your home. The pipes within the Air Scrubber are shaped in a honeycomb style and covered with a special coating.

The air scrubber cleans the air in your home through a two-step process. First, the air travels through the honeycomb system and passes by a UV light that kills most airborne contagions. Then negative ions are created and released to clean your home’s air.

After the negative ions are released, they combat the positive ions like bacteria, pollen, and other allergens. When the atoms link together, a larger and heavier particle is neutralizing the contaminate and causing it to no longer be airborne. This process will rid you of the contaminants in your home.

What is Fresh Air Ventilation?

Today’s homes are tightly sealed and built with energy efficiency in mind. This type of construction is great for keeping your hot and cool air from seeping out of the house, but it traps all types of harmful pollutants and odors in your house that you may not realize. Fresh air ventilation is needed to help keep those harmful pollutants out of your home.

Proper ventilation can make your home healthier and more comfortable. When your heating and cooling system runs, it circulates all of the chemicals and pet odors as well; trapped air contains harmful chemicals that can threaten your family’s health. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the concentration of pollutants can be up to 10 times greater inside your home than outside.

Common Household Contaminents

Commonly found contaminants in the home include:

  • Formaldehyde
  • Radon
  • Smoke
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

These contaminants can lead to several health issues like the following:

  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Chronic winter illness
  • Headaches

Not only do homes with insufficient fresh air ventilation see the above health issues increased, but we also see problems in the home itself including mold and moisture.

How to Get Fresh Air Ventalation

You can just open a window and let fresh air in your home, but sometimes that isn’t a possibility due to weather conditions and security concerns. This method can also increase your heating and cooling costs.
The best solution is a professionally installed whole-home ventilation system that controls your air quality and makes your home a healthier environment.

It does this by:

  • Expelling dangerous and cancer-causing pollutants
  • Removing foul odors
  • Providing fresh air while reducing energy costs
  • Assisting in monitoring and controlling temperature and humidity
  • Providing greater comfort and security at a lower cost

Fresh air ventilation systems are not only effective but they are also:

  • Affordable
  • Operate quietly

Why Would I Consider a Whole Home Dehumidifier?

Today’s homes are built for energy efficiency. In these tighter environments, there is moisture and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). These more efficient homes cool the home quickly while using less energy than older systems. However, these systems remove less humidity. In order to get better dehumidification, we find ourselves overcooling our homes.

So many times, air conditioning is not the total answer to making your home healthier and more comfortable. You want to maintain relative humidity between 45-55% in the summertime. Every installation is different, and many times a whole-house dehumidifier is the only solution. You can try to use portable dehumidifiers, however, these solutions only treat just a single room and portable dehumidifiers require you to do maintenance and empty the water reservoir regularly.

Using a Whole House Dehumidifier

When you use a whole-house dehumidifier, you will remove up to 135 pints of moisture per day; that is the equivalent of up to 16 gallons!
