Do I Have One?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It may sound silly to ask if you have a whole house humidifier, but some people do not even realize they have one! If you moved into a new home recently, it is worth it to check whether the HVAC system has a home humidifier installed or not. You should also check if you got a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/is-it-time-for-a-new-air-conditioner-unit\/\">new AC<\/a> system recently. They are increasingly common as many people discover how much of a role humidity plays in comfort and temperature control.<\/p>\n<p>If you do have a whole house humidifier, some important steps to take to prepare for summer include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Turning Off Steam Humidifiers<\/strong> -At the beginning of the summer, if you have a whole house humidifier that runs on steam, you should do the following to get the system ready for the season:\n<ul>\n<li>Turn off the humidifier with the control button.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t turn off the water as steam humidifiers will regularly empty and rinse the water out unless the water is turned off.<\/li>\n<li>If you suspect any issues, have your HVAC team check the wiring and heating elements on your humidifier. Cleaning the humidifier can help as well!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turning Off Bypass Humidifiers<\/strong> &#8211; The other main type of whole house humidifier is a bypass humidifier. These work by redirecting heated air through a water panel before distributing it throughout the house. Here is how you can shut off this kind of whole house humidifier for the summer:\n<ul>\n<li>Find the humidistat or control button, usually on or near the thermostat and turn it off.<\/li>\n<li>If there is a damper, make sure it is closed so air is not directed through the humidifier. <\/li>\n<li>Turn off water to the humidifier. This will be the copper tube between the water heater and humidifier. Look for a valve to close off the water. <\/li>\n<li>Wait until fall to replace the water panel and filter. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Summer_Home_Maintenance_Tips\"><\/span>Other Summer Home Maintenance Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you have your whole house humidifier turned off, you are ready for a comfortable and mildew-free summer! There are some other summer home maintenance tips that are good to be aware of as well. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cleaning up the lawn and removing debris from around the outdoor AC unit. <\/li>\n<li>Replacing the air filters in your HVAC system.<\/li>\n<li>Sealing windows to increase insulation.<\/li>\n<li>And having your HVAC team perform a maintenance visit in spring or early summer. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Concerned_About_Your_Whole_House_Humidifier_Call_Us\"><\/span>Concerned About Your Whole House Humidifier?
