Jesse came this morning for the annual maintenance check at my husband’s and my home. He was very knowledgeable and professional. We are very pleased with their service and do recommend them.
Lawrence Rollman
He got to me same day (weekend), the circuit board he got from the supplier was bad but he was able to use one off the truck to get it working. Took a lot of extra time of his than expected but he got the heat on. Would definitely recommend. Thank you

Signs Your Home Doesn't Have Enough Humidity

Raleigh winters can be surprisingly dry. When your heating system runs consistently throughout the cooler months, it pulls moisture from the air, leaving your home feeling uncomfortable. Here are some signs that low humidity may be affecting your home:

  • You or your family regularly wakes up with dry skin, chapped lips, or irritated sinuses.
  • Wood floors, furniture, or trim in your home are cracking or splitting.
  • You notice frequent static electricity when touching surfaces or other people.
  • Allergy and asthma symptoms seem worse than usual, especially indoors.
  • Your home feels colder than the thermostat reading suggests.

How Whole Home Humidifiers Work

Unlike portable units that treat only one room at a time, a whole-home humidifier connects directly to your HVAC system. As your heating system runs, the humidifier introduces moisture into the air before it is distributed through your ductwork. This gives you consistent, even humidity levels throughout your entire home without the hassle of refilling water tanks or managing multiple devices.

Our Humidifier Installation Services

When you work with Degree Above Heating & Air, you get more than just an equipment install. Our team takes the time to assess your home's needs, walk you through your options, and make sure the system is sized and set up correctly for your space. We install whole-home humidifiers that integrate with your existing HVAC system and are built to last. We also offer financing options so you can move forward with the comfort upgrades your home needs without the upfront burden.

Signs Your Humidifier Needs Repair

Even a well-installed humidifier needs occasional attention. If you notice any of the following, it’s a good idea to have a professional take a look:

  • Your home still feels dry even though your humidifier appears to be running.
  • There is visible mineral buildup or corrosion on the unit.
  • You notice water leaking around the humidifier or near your HVAC system.
  • Your humidity levels are inconsistent from room to room.
  • The unit is making unusual sounds during operation.

Catching these issues early can save you from bigger repairs down the road. Our team is here to diagnose the problem and get things back on track quickly.

What are the ideal indoor humidity levels for a home in Raleigh?

Most homes are comfortable at relative humidity levels between 30 and 50 percent. During Raleigh’s cooler, drier months, a whole-home humidifier helps you maintain that range consistently.

Most installations are completed in a few hours. Our team works efficiently while making sure everything is done right the first time.

They do require periodic maintenance, such as filter and water panel replacements, but they are generally low-maintenance systems. Our VIP Maintenance Program can help keep yours running smoothly.

Yes. Dry air feels colder, which can cause you to run your heat more than necessary. Proper humidity levels help your system work more efficiently and can reduce energy costs over time.

Yes, we do. If your humidifier stops working and you need help right away, give us a call. We are here when you need us and will do our best to get to you as quickly as possible.
