What’s Wrong With My Humidifier?
Humidifier repairs ensure your home’s interior air quality benefits your health and well-being. You may have the skills to address certain humidifier problems, while others require professional HVAC technicians. Common issues with whole-home humidifiers include:
Humidifiers provide the perfect conditions for bacteria and mold to grow. If you notice strange smells, your humidifier may have organisms growing in its drainage or water inlet trays. Maintain humidity levels between 30% and 50% to keep mold growth at bay.
Besides bad smells, homes with high humidity can cause water stains on walls or ceilings, condensation on windows and mirrors, and bubbling or peeling wallpaper or paint. If you notice any of these signs, check your humidifier’s settings. Our professional humidifier technicians can help you calibrate the proper settings for your home.
If you hear your humidifier kick on but don’t notice a difference in air quality, your humidifier may not be functioning correctly. Listen for sounds like knocking, humming, or buzzing. Relate these noises to your HVAC tech when you contact Maximum Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning for professional humidifier repair and installation in El Cajon, CA.
Your humidifier needs water to do its job. Continuous running drives your electricity bill up while producing a dry environment. Some reasons your humidifier may not receive new water include:
Closed Main Valve
Your main shutoff valve should be open to allow water into the humidifier. Check the handle on the valve and turn it properly if needed:- Ball valves need the handle to sit parallel to the pipe.
- Gate valves should have the handle turned as far counterclockwise as possible.
- Saddle valves should always run, so if the water isn’t working, there may be a clog in the valve.
Stuck Humidifier Solenoid Valve
Test the solenoid valve by turning the humidity to its highest setting and listening for a clicking sound. If you don’t hear this noise, you may have a problem with the valve that requires professional intervention.Stuck Float Valve
When all else works, check your float valve. The float valve tells your humidifier the water level needs replenishing. Jiggle the valve a few times, and if that doesn’t work, try lubricating the valve before calling Maximum Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning.Do I Need a Whole-home Humidifier?
If you regularly suffer from symptoms of excessively dry air, you should consider humidifier installation. A whole-house humidifier delivers moisture throughout your home and attaches to your furnace to ensure proper distribution. While you can opt for portable humidifiers, they’ll cost more in the long run than a whole-home humidifier.
