Balance Humidity Levels During Heating Season

Winter temperatures can send humidity levels in the air tumbling to dangerously low levels. Dry winter air can be responsible for everything from dry, cracked skin to watery eyes, sneezing, nose bleeds, coughing, and plenty of other health effects. Of course, you don’t want to have to suffer from these things in the comfort of your own home as well, and we at Cregger Plumbing, Heating and Cooling don’t think you should have to, either.

We offer a wide range of humidifiers that can help you carefully and precisely control your indoor humidity levels. Some of these products work directly with your existing HVAC equipment, while others are independent and can be set to operate without the need to turn on your furnace. If dry air is a real problem in your home during the winter, reach out to our indoor air quality experts and we’ll help you solve this problem!

Call (248) 543-1190 today for more information on central humidifier installation. Based in Ferndale, we serve homes throughout the Michigan metro area.

  • How do I know if I need a humidifier in my home?

    If you experience dry, cracked skin, watery eyes, nose bleeds, or respiratory issues during the winter, it may be a sign that the air in your home is too dry. A humidifier can help balance the humidity levels and alleviate these symptoms.

  • Can I install a humidifier on my own, or should I hire a professional?

    While some portable humidifiers can be self-installed, central humidifier installation usually requires professional expertise. It’s best to consult with a heating and cooling specialist to ensure proper installation and optimal performance.

  • What are the benefits of a central humidifier over a portable one?

    Central humidifiers are integrated with your HVAC system, providing balanced humidity levels throughout your entire home. They require less maintenance and offer more precise control over humidity levels compared to portable units.

  • Can a humidifier help reduce heating costs?

    By adding moisture to the air, a humidifier can make your home feel warmer at lower temperatures, allowing you to lower your thermostat and potentially save on heating costs during the winter.

  • What Is A Central Humidifier?

    A central humidifier is a system that helps to add moisture to the air in your home, helping you to feel more comfortable and reducing dryness and irritation. This type of humidifier is typically installed as part of a central heating and cooling system, utilizing an existing ductwork system to distribute moisture throughout your house.

    There are several different types of central humidifiers available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. One popular option is a steam-based central humidifier, which adds steam directly into the ductwork using a special vaporizer unit connected to the main heating system. Another common type is an evaporative or fan-assisted central humidifier, which uses fans to draw moistened air from water reservoirs into the ducts.

  • The Benefits of Installing a Central Humidifier

    • Humidifiers may help you to avoid cold and flu symptoms by combating dry air
    • Humidifiers may help prevent your nasal cavities from drying out
    • Humidifiers may reduce snoring by easing dry airways
    • Humidifiers may help to clear nasal passages and help with asthma or allergies
    • Humidifiers may help alleviate an itchy scalp
    • Humidifiers may help to keep your skin moisturized and prevent it from drying out
    • Humidifiers may help prevent bloody noses by clearing nasal passages

Jayden was great. Quick, knowledgeable and professional. In and out in 2-3 hours. I knew I needed a new water heater for a while and was considering replacing it myself. I am glad I didn’t try to do this. I would have made a horrible mess. He replaced another old valance that was leaking as well.

Cregger delivered well with quality work and customer service. After a communication error was resolved we are happy with our brand new rebuilt shower. Ethan, the technician, was very professional and did a great job with the repair. They even gave us a discount for the miscommunication and wait. That says a lot about their company and how they value their customers and service.

We called Cregger this morning and they were able to come out within just a few hours. We had an issue with both our sink and shower not draining correctly, and Brian was the technician who helped us. He was polite, professional, and very informative… He took the time to go over our options and explain everything clearly. The service was quick and efficient. Very happy with the results! Would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area!

Brian and Kyle came out and fixed my clogged sink. I was impressed with how accurate Brian’s diagnostic skills were. He heard the bathroom toilet flush and said that sounds like a clogged roof vent. After nothing was in the pipes of my sink, they ended up snaking the roof vent. That solved the problem and my sink is now draining properly!
