There are numerous benefits of professional installation of a whole home humidifier system.

First and foremost, a professional humidifier installation company, like ProSolutions Inc., will help you choose the correct size humidifier for your Edmonton home. Choosing the right size humidifier is essential. That’s because a humidifier that is too small will provide no real benefit. On the other hand, if a humidifier is too big, it will waste energy for no reason!

In addition to helping you pick the proper size humidifier for your home, a professional humidifier installation company will guarantee that your system is installed and calibrated properly for the local conditions. This will ensure maximum home comfort and optimal performance. As a result, your humidifier will run efficiently and effectively for years to come.

When it comes to choosing a humidifier, Edmonton homeowners have two options:

• Portable humidifier
• Whole home humidifier

Portable units are the cheapest option – they are easy to find and use and require no installation. However, most portable humidifiers can only maintain proper humidity levels in one or two rooms. As well, portable units require a lot of maintenance. This includes regularly filling the water reservoir and consistently cleaning the unit to maintain optimal air quality and minimize bacteria and viruses.

A whole-home system, although more expensive up front, requires much less maintenance and can maintain optimal humidity levels throughout your home. 

For Edmonton homeowners, whole-home humidifiers (also known as furnace humidifiers or in-duct humidifiers) are the best option. 

Whole home systems can be installed in residential homes with forced-air heating systems. These humidifiers use the air ducts and plumbing system to deliver consistent humidity levels. Best of all, once installed, a whole home humidifier will provide reliable home comfort without needing to lift a finger!

Some of the best whole-home humidifier brands in Edmonton include:

• Carrier
• Comfortmaker
• Ducane
• RunTru
• Goodman
• AirEase
• Daikin, etc.

Maintaining the proper humidity level in your Edmonton home is essential! If the humidity level in your house is too low or too high, your home will be uncomfortable – and you could run into a host of health issues.

Proper indoor humidity is critical in the winter, as Edmonton gets extremely cold, forcing residents to stay inside the majority of the day.

If your skin feels dry and it’s more difficult to breathe than usual, you may have improper humidity levels in your Edmonton home. In this case, the humidity level is likely too low. Thus, you and your family are breathing stale, dry air instead of crisp, refreshing air. 

Luckily, there are several ways to fix the low humidity level in your Edmonton home.

• Hang-dry wet clothes or towels in exceptionally dry rooms
• Place a container of water near your heating system
• Use a room humidifier
• Install a whole home humidifier

Wondering how to check the humidity level in your Edmonton home? Good news – it’s simple to do! You’ll just need one of two things:

1. Hygrometer or
2. Humidifier

If you want to check the humidity level in your home by hand, you’ll need a tool called a hygrometer. This tool can be purchased at your local hardware store for about $10 to $20.

To use a hygrometer to check the humidity in your home, simply place it in the room you want to check. It’s important to note that humidity levels won’t be consistent throughout your home – some rooms may have more or less humidity than others. Therefore, placing the hygrometer in a room you are concerned about or where your family spends most of their time is best. Also, ensure you don’t put your hygrometer near a heat source. For example, a radiator, heat register, chimney, etc.

Once the hygrometer is placed, wait up to two hours (it can take a couple of hours for the tool to get an accurate and stable reading).

If you have a humidifier in your home, it will have a built-in hygrometer. Therefore, you won’t need to buy a handheld tool. Instead, this internal hygrometer will automatically monitor and adjust the humidity level in your home, keeping your Edmonton home comfortable all year round.

Experts like ProSolutions will tell you that it’s best to have at least two-thirds of your vents left open for best operation of your AC system. It is far harder to cool down a house versus keeping it at a constant temperature. 

In the Edmonton area, you should typically change your furnace filter every 1 to 3 months—but it depends on your home and lifestyle:

• Every 1 month if you have multiple pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area

• Every 2 months for average homes with one pet or light allergies

• Every 3 months in smaller homes with no pets and minimal dust

• More often during heavy-use seasons, like winter (heating) and summer (if you use central AC)

Filter size and quality also play a role—smaller or lower-MERV filters usually need changing more frequently.

If you’re tired of remembering when to replace them, our ProComfort Dual and ProHeating Memberships offer an Air Filter Delivery Add-On. We’ll deliver the right filters to your door on schedule—so your home stays clean, your air stays fresh, and your HVAC system runs at its best without any guesswork.

Yes—you definitely should! Even though your furnace isn’t heating your home during the summer, your HVAC system still uses the same ductwork and blower when you run your central air conditioner. That means your furnace filter is still working hard to trap dust, pollen, pet hair, and smoke particles—especially during Edmonton’s dry, dusty summers or wildfire season.

In fact, summer can be one of the most important times to stay on top of filter changes if:

• You use central AC

• You have allergies

• You experience poor outdoor air quality (like wildfire smoke)

• You have pets that shed

Not sure when to change it? Our Air Filter Delivery Add-On (available with ProComfort or ProHeating Memberships) makes it easy. We deliver the right filter size on your preferred schedule—so your home stays cool and your air stays clean, no matter the season.
