Steam Humidifier Services in Tacoma, WA

Humidifiers come in many different types and sizes and Sound Heating & Air Conditioning is dedicated to providing full service for each type, including the very popular steam humidifiers. In the Tacoma, WA area especially, steam humidifiers are becoming increasingly popular due to their cleanliness, quiet, and ease of maintenance, so if you’re currently looking for a solution to your humidity problems, this may just be the answer.

What Steam Offers

A standard humidifier generally works with moisture–laden pads or cells that will increase humidity through the release of that moisture into the air. Unfortunately, at ambient temperatures, that moisture can result in the growth of unwanted bacteria that can then be distributed via your humidifier. Even with an air purifier in place, excess bacteria growth can create an unhealthy environment in your home.

Steam, however, ensures clean humidification by heating the water before it is released into the air. Steam, which is the cleanest form of water, is also an incredibly efficient humidification process. Because all of the water used by a steam humidifier is converted to steam and circulated in your home, you don’t waste water or increase your bill unnecessarily.

Convenience Factors

Steam humidifiers can generally be installed directly on your furnace or boiler as well, making it easy to circulate humidifying air throughout your entire house without extra installation of pipes or vents. You won’t need to refill units repeatedly either if the steam unit is attached to your water supply.

Regular maintenance is recommended but can be performed annually along with you heating system to avoid extra charges. Cleaning itself is simple and is only required annually because most steam humidifiers are self–cleaning throughout the rest of the calendar year.

Choosing Your Steam Humidifier

While more convenient and efficient, steam humidifiers will cost more during initial installation. That initial cost is often offset by the long term water and filter savings, however.
