Humidity Control

The EPA recommends that indoor humidity levels stay within the 30-50% range for optimal home health. Both too much humidity and not enough can potentially lead to health risks for your family and property damage to your home. Pippin Brothers offers a reliable solution with our humidity control services, including dehumidifier and humidifier installation.

Whole-Home Humidity Control Solutions 

Pippin Brothers can help you determine if your home has too much or too little humidity and find the right solution for your specific needs. We recommend starting the process with air quality testing so that our team can find the root cause of indoor humidity problems. Daily activities like cooking and cleaning can often result in high humidity levels, but so can improper insulation and air leakage throughout your home. 

Once our team understands your home, we may recommend a dehumidifier or humidifier to help bring your humidity levels in balance with the EPA’s recommendations. While moisture levels will vary from home to home and region to region, almost all homes can benefit from some form of humidity control. 

Dehumidifier Installation

When humidity levels get too high in the summer, your home becomes susceptible to several indoor air quality issues. Pippin Brothers can help you control home humidity levels for greater comfort, health, and energy savings. Working in conjunction with your cooling system, a whole-home dehumidifier will help you balance the humidity in your home, allowing your air conditioner to run less in the summer.

If you experience any of the following issues in your home, your home will likely benefit from a whole-house dehumidifier:

• Condensation on windows, floors, or plumbing
• Musty odors or smells that don’t seem to go away
• A sticky feeling after showering
• Occupants suffering from allergies or asthma
• Difficulty sleeping due to stuffy and/or stickiness at night

Humidifier Installation

Dry air in the winter often leads to dry sinuses and other respiratory conditions, itchy skin, static shock, bloody noses, and even cracked wood or plaster. Most often these concerns can be relieved by installing a whole-house humidifier. Installed directly into your new or existing heating system, flow-through humidifiers regularly monitor the relative humidity levels in your home and respond by delivering the right amount of moisture as you need it. Unlike portable humidifiers, flow-through humidifiers don’t require the hassle of cleaning and disinfecting and they add the right amount of humidity to the air throughout your home. 

If you experience any of the following issues in your home, your home will likely benefit from a whole-house dehumidifier:

• Frequent sinus congestion
• Excessive static electricity
• Dry & irritated skin
• Cracked wooden flooring & furniture
