Why a Whole-Home Humidifier is a Must-Have in Colorado
If you live in Colorado, you know just how dry our air can get—especially during the winter. While your furnace keeps you warm, it can also zap what little moisture is left in your home, leading to dry skin, irritated sinuses, and even higher energy bills. That’s where a whole-home humidifier comes in to save the day!
What Is a Whole-Home Humidifier and How Does It Work?
A whole-home humidifier is a system that connects directly to your HVAC system, adding moisture to the air as it circulates through your home. Unlike portable units that only work in one room, a whole-home humidifier treats the entire house, maintaining consistent humidity levels everywhere.
• For most homes, we recommend the AprilAire 700A, which uses a fan to draw warm air from your furnace through a water panel, adding just the right amount of moisture to the air.
• If your home is over 2,000 square feet, the AprilAire 800 steam humidifier is the better option. It uses steam to provide higher capacity humidity control, perfect for larger spaces.
The Benefits of a Whole-Home Humidifier
1. Say Goodbye to Dry Skin and Irritated Sinuses
Colorado’s dry air can leave you feeling like a desert cactus—cracked skin, dry eyes, and scratchy throats are no fun! A whole-home humidifier restores moisture to the air, helping your body feel more comfortable. Learn more about the health benefits of humidifiers.
2. Protect Your Home and Belongings
Dry air isn’t just hard on you; it’s tough on your home, too. Low humidity can cause wood floors to warp, furniture to crack, and musical instruments to go out of tune. Adding moisture protects your home and the things you love.
3. Lower Energy Bills
Did you know that humid air feels warmer than dry air? By maintaining proper humidity levels, you can set your thermostat a little lower and still feel just as cozy—saving you money on heating costs.
4. Improve Indoor Air Quality
Balanced humidity reduces dust and allergens in the air, creating a healthier environment for everyone in your home. Plus, humid air is less likely to spread germs, so you may even see fewer winter colds!
5. Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting
Whole-home humidifiers are designed to work seamlessly with your HVAC system, requiring minimal maintenance. Just an annual cleaning and filter replacement will keep them running smoothly for years.

They were so thorough and helpful! Brandy got me in that day to have them take a look at my furnace. It was a simple fix and taught me what I may look for next time. Outstanding customer service Thank you Pendleton Heating & Cooling for all you do!

Lara Matisek
I’m so grateful to Kip and Brandy. I had previously hired a master plumber to do my tankless water heater. He did work not up to code and gave me a million excuses about my permit. After learning his work is why it would not pass and I applied pressure to him, he ghosted me after taking $6k of my money. I was looking for a mechanical contractor who is legally permitted to work on this and that’s where Kip comes in. He not only took the job, but did an amazing job. I’m forever grateful to them!

FAQs
How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
You should have your HVAC system serviced twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. This will help to ensure that your system is running efficiently and effectively, and it will also help to identify and prevent any potential problems.
What are the benefits of having a programmable thermostat?
A programmable thermostat can help you to save money on your energy bills by allowing you to control the temperature of your home when you are not there. You can program your thermostat to turn down the heat in the winter and turn up the air conditioning in the summer when you are away or asleep.
What is the best way to choose the right size HVAC system for my home?
The best way to choose the right size HVAC system for your home is to have a load calculation performed by a qualified HVAC contractor. This calculation will take into account the size of your home, the number of windows and doors, the insulation value of your walls and attic, and the climate in your area.
