It’s Never Too Late for Furnace Installation
Whole-home humidifiers use water panels to infuse the air with moisture before circulating it through your house. Over time, these can become clogged up with minerals and debris from where you get your drinking mineral-water! In homes that have hard water this is often necessary more frequently than in others because they contain higher levels of dissolved calcium which builds upon panel over a long period without being replaced regularly – leading not only unwanted negativity within our environment but also compromising its effectiveness at doing what really matters: keeping things clean inside out houses (and lungs).
Changing the water panel in your humidifier is easy, and can be done before or after you use it for this season. Before changing any part of an appliance like this one:
-Unplug all appliances that are not needed during normal operating hours such as those with heating functions; they may cause unpredictable behavior when turned back on again after being switched off at night time (this includes wall mount thermostats).
Steps for changing your humidifier’s water panel:
- Turn off power to your furnace.
- Locate the panel cover on the outside of your humidifier.
- Slide out the enclosure that holds the humidifier water panel.
- Remove the old humidifier water panel from the enclosure. Dispose of the old panel.
- Insert a new humidifier water panel into the enclosure.
- Make sure the enclosure is inserted securely into the humidifier.
- Close or replace the panel.
- Power up your furnace.
Make sure that your humidifier is easy to operate and maintain this season! The best time for routine maintenance on heating systems, like those found in homes or offices buildings across America today-is during their preventative fall tune ups.
Many homeowners rely on portable humidifiers to add moisture to the air in certain areas throughout the home. These types of humidifiers require more frequent maintenance than whole home humidifiers. Use our portable humidifier maintenance checklist to care for your units this winter:
