Whole Home Humidifier Installation for Dry Desert Winters
Bypass, fan-powered and steam humidifiers installed on your existing furnace or air handler
Running the heat in the high desert drives indoor humidity very low, which causes dry skin, static shocks, irritated sinuses and cracked wood floors and furniture. A whole home humidifier mounts on your furnace or air handler and adds moisture to the air going to every room, controlled by a humidistat so it does not over-humidify. DC Air and Heating installs bypass, fan-powered and steam humidifiers across the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Valley, sized for your home and set to a safe winter humidity level. Pricing is quoted flat-rate after we confirm the right type for your system. Call (661) 310-3340.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a whole home humidifier in Lancaster or Palmdale?
Many high-desert homes drop well below comfortable humidity once the heat runs daily. If you notice static, dry skin, nosebleeds or gaps in wood floors each winter, a whole home humidifier helps.
Will a humidifier cause mold?
Not when it is controlled correctly. We install an automatic humidistat that lowers the target humidity on cold nights to prevent condensation on windows.
Can you install a humidifier with a smart thermostat?
Yes. Many smart thermostats can control a humidifier directly, and we can handle the smart thermostat installation on the same visit.
