How Much Does a Humidifier Installation Cost?

The installation cost of a new whole-home humidifier can vary widely. 

There are several factors that can affect the cost to repair or install a new humidifier:

Pre-Installation Evaluation

A first step is conducting an energy audit to determine the energy load for your home. Calculating the load tells the experts at Rock Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning how much humidity your house gains during the day & what size home humidifier will do the best to keep your indoor climate comfortable. This is critical, as most home humidifier system issues stem from an improperly-sized humidifier.

Type of Home Humidifier 

Here’s where the load calculation comes into play, as you want to pick a correctly-sized home humidifier to install – either too big or too small a humidifier can lead to costly repair or replacement down the road. Call the HVAC professionals at Rock Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning; they’ll know the perfect home humidifier to install for your home at the lowest price.

Existing Ductwork

Often, your old existing ducts can’t handle the airflow cost of a newly installed humidifier. Any upgrades to accommodate a new system will likely increase the cost to install a humidifier unit, but will ultimately help you avoid costly, high-energy bills & humid rooms in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions About Humidifier Repair

Does My Humidifier Need to Be Cleaned?

Yes, your humidifier needs to be cleaned. You should clean your humidifier whenever you change your air filters, which you should change every three to six months. If you are using tap water, it is especially necessary to clean your humidifier to keep your unit functioning.

Does My Humidifier Need to Be Serviced?

Like any other HVAC system, your humidifier needs to be serviced. To keep your humidifier in proper working order, you’ll need to have your humidifier professionally serviced by Rock Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning at least once a year. Humidifiers are complex systems that require professional attention. It’s a good idea to have your yearly preventative maintenance done on your humidifier in the fall when you have your HVAC system serviced. Preventative maintenance will help prevent repairs and extend the life of your unit greatly.

What Happens if You Install a Humidifier and Dehumidifier?

It doesn’t make a lot of sense to install both a humidifier and a dehumidifier in a house, as they both work to do the opposite of the other. If you are struggling to decipher whether a humidifier or a dehumidifier is what you and your home need, call Rock Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning to have a heating and cooling expert come out to your home to help figure out which is more appropriate for your home.

What are the Benefits of a Home Humidifier?

Humidifiers help increase the amount of moisture in the air in your home. They can have a variety of benefits, especially during dry winter months. Humidifiers can help soothe itchy or irritated skin caused by dry air in your home, and make the air in your home more comfortable in general.
