Oct 3, 2016

North Carolina Winters are dry and bitter. R & S Mechanical’s Comfort Guy sincerely wants to make your home more comfortable, and installing a humidifier is a great way to do that. This accessory you can be added on to your heating equipment to add moisture to the air. Here are five great reasons to consider having R & S Mechanical add a humidifier to your Raleigh or Durham area home.

1. Humidifiers Can Improve Your Health

Many people suffer with dry skin or nosebleeds in the cold weather. A humidifier can ease these symptoms by keeping a healthy level of moisture in the air.

2. Humidifiers Dilute Static Electricity

Static electricity is a nuisance in a home that is too dry. Installing a humidifier takes care of this problem.

3. Installing A Humidifier Protects Your Furniture

Expensive wooden cabinetry, floors, and furniture can crack in an environment that is too dry. A humidifier will keep the moisture from evaporating from the wood in your home. Other surfaces that can benefit from a humidifier are leather, books and artwork.

4. R & S Mechanical Humidifier Installation Provides Comfort + Energy Savings

A home that is too dry will feel chilly, as compared to a home heated to the same temperature that has a higher level of humidity. Some people even find they are able to keep their thermostat set lower and still feel comfortable after installing a humidifier. If you can lower thermostat settings, that will save energy on heating bills.

5. Humidifiers Create Safer Air Quality

The growth of some organisms is increased in a dryer environment. Adding a humidifier may be able to help your family avoid illnesses over the winter.

How Does An R & S Mechanical Humidifier Installation Work?

The professorial HVAC technicians at R & S Mechanical Heating & Air Conditioning Services are able to install standard type humidifier units, as well as ultrasonic and steam humidifiers. A basic style humidifier unit consists of a base piece, along with a channeling wick and fan.

A reservoir holds the purified water, which will be turned into a water vapor before it is diffused through out your home. Typically, a humidifier unit is connected to the heating and cooling system of a building, so that the water vapor is introduced into the air flow.

R & S Mechanical Lets You Easily Adjust Your Raleigh, Durham, Or Garner Home’s Humidity Levels

A humidifier home system also gives you the control to adjust the humidity level as needed. A good general rule is to adjust the humidity levels to around 45 percent in the summer months. This will create an ideal environment where the air is not too dry. However, in the Winter time, an ideal setting for the humidity in the home is typically lower than 45 percent to ensure the air has proper moisture levels.

Sean H. I had R and S come out to my house for the second time in the last couple of years to fix an issue with our heating system, and they were able to show up quickly and promptly and fix the issue the same day. The folks I have dealt with at R and S have all been very friendly and helpful in explaining the two issues with our heater thus far. We've had very good experiences and would definitely recommend to other homeowners.
Mancy M. I would recommend R & S Mechanical at any time for those who are looking for professionalism and ability to make a major job look like it's a minor one. I contacted R & S as one of 5 suppliers and service companies to install a new unit in my house. Even though price was a factor, but I was also looking to work with an organization that would be honest and caring. I did find such values with R & S. They were the only one out of the five who actually called to follow up on their offer and ensure that everything was well explained and clear. Absolutely great guys and they made sure to keep the place clean after they left. I definitely made the right choice.
Jennifer R. I have dealt with R&S since I moved to Raleigh four years ago and they have taken consistently good care of my HVAC units. They are prompt, professional, courteous and definitely pick up after themselves. They even call me to schedule regular maintenance that comes with my service contract instead of me having to remember. I can get an appointment very quickly if something breaks on me and they always arrive early. I'm overall very satisfied.
Gail S. I have always been pleased with their service. They are quick to respond, even on weekends. I would definitely recommend them.
Carol C. Our overall experience with R&S has been exceptional. We have been homeowners for over 30 years and have never had better service, concern and respect as we have received from R&S. Highly recommend.
Barb and Jerry Our AC system failed on a Friday afternoon at our Daughter's condo. Shortly after our call, Randy and Mike came to our condo, diagnosed the unit and loaned us portable cooling units over the weekend. They installed a new system and got us up and running the following Tuesday. Their prices and service were great! Very responsive, very straight forward, no hard sell unlike the big companies. Highly recommended - excellent service!
