What to Expect During Humidifier Installation

Your home’s humidity needs are unique. We’ll measure your space and determine the type of unit that best meets your needs. Our whole home humidifier installation service follows a standard process of:

In-Home Evaluation

At Astera, we perform a comprehensive analysis of your home’s air volume, ductwork and insulation. We calculate moisture requirements based on your floor plan and square footage to move to the next installation stage.

System Recommendations

Our team guides you on choosing the best humidifier options for your home. We’ll base our recommendations on the size of your home and plumbing configurations. Nationwide brands that are durable and long-lasting are recommended.

Professional HVAC Integration

Technicians will handle the wiring and plumbing for your humidifier HVAC installation. We’ll wire the unit into the existing ductwork and furnace for a seamless install. After the humidistat is mounted, we begin system testing.

Performance Testing & Calibration

Before we leave, a full performance test is performed. We ensure accurate moisture delivery throughout your home, verify that there are no leaks and that airflow is optimal. We fine-tune the system to maintain balanced indoor humidity from day one.

Signs Your Home Needs Better Humidity Control

If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to consider our professional humidifier installation services:

  • Dry Skin & Sinus Irritation. Dry air strips your skin of its natural oils and dries out your nasal passages.
  • Static Electricity Throughout the Home. Getting shocked when you touch doorknobs or fabric? This is a classic sign of overly dry air.
  • Cracked Wood Floors / Furniture. Wood shrinks in dry conditions, leading to gaps in flooring or structural cracks in furniture.
  • Poor Sleep & Respiratory Discomfort. Tossing and turning at night? It may be due to low moisture, making it harder to breathe.
  • Dry Air During Winter Months. Your heating system runs more frequently during the winter, naturally depleting moisture levels.

Val was extremely professional and helpful. He was upfront with the total cost, came back same day with the needed parts, worked to find the best price for the parts saving me money, and made recommendations for future trade-in service on a humidifier. Will definitely use Astera services again and recommend them to other condo unit owners.

I contacted Astera because I was not getting any heat in my baseboard heating system on the first floor of my home. Upon emailing them I received a response within the same day as well as numerous options for a in-home appointment and service. So they sent Steven who is one of the technicians for HVAC. Upon talking with him as well as inspecting the boiler in my basement he immediately came up with a plan. Steven spent a lot of time making sure I understood about what happened and why I was not getting any heat. He discussed with me what needed to be done and he made sure I understood. He completed all of the required work and I was very happy with the money that I spent for my total repair. This is the third time I have used Astera for issues in my home as well as my sister's home. I have been so happy with the service that I receive from Astera and will definitely continue to use them down the road. Thanks Steven John N Westchester

Astera was able to come look at our appliance a few hours after my initial outreach. The technicians were friendly, trustworthy, and repaired our SubZero with no problem. I recommend them without reservation!

Owner's reply

I read the Yelp reviews for Astera before I reached out to them, and the 5-star reviews are spot on! I sent a message via Yelp on a Sunday night and they immediately scheduled our oven troubleshooting for Monday afternoon. Their front office staff is incredibly responsive! George (technician) arrived timely and was very thorough. He explained things to me every step of the way. He is approaching this very methodically - ok, so it's not the igniter, let's look at the next link in the chain... I saw George called out by name in other Yelp reviews, and I understand why he comes so highly recommended! He called the manufacturer to discuss his findings, but the manufacturer tech team wasn't available. He let me know he would be calling them again in the morning and that he would reach out to me with an update. I've had plenty of negative or so-so experiences with other service technicians from other companies. This experience with George / Astera is so positive that I'm posting my review even before the service is completed. Astera will be getting first crack at all of my appliance and HVAC service calls going forward.

This is my second experience with Astera and have only the highest praise for this business and the people that work there. From the person who answers the phone to the technician who comes out, everyone is friendly and polite. They're great with communication so you know when their techs are coming out. Our Sub-Zero fridge was throwing error codes which they diagnosed and repaired a faulty board. The work was done right and Alex explained everything afterwards. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing company and employees! Rebuilt a brand new furnace installed by someone else, redid air intakes, humidifiers, disposal, broken freezer. Constant communication and always on time I'm so happy I found them! They even provided a rebate for taxes which the original installer wouldn't. 100% pleased, can't say enough good things about them!

I recently had both the heat and hot water go out. I have an old boiler that needed several new parts but otherwise works fine. They recommended regular maintenance but unlike other HVAC companies don't try to sell you a new, much more expensive system. If you appreciate a company that will just fix your problem without upselling you, I would recommend Astera. The techs are friendly and knowledgeable. They talk you through the repair and answer any questions.

found Astera Heating, Cooling and Appiances from a Google search. Their reviews were nothing but positive so I hired them to work on my boiler. The office staff was kind and professional. The service technician is extremely knowledgeable and did a thorough job on our repair. The interaction from start to finish was professional and efficient. I am adding my positive review to the reviews out on the internet. I would recommend this company for your Heating and Cooling needs.

Freqently Asked Questions

1
Do whole-house humidifiers really work?
Yes. Small portable units only cover a single room. A whole-house system connects to your HVAC ductwork. It uses your furnace’s blower to distribute moisture to every room in the house. Most homeowners find that it is worth every penny.
2
How much does humidifier installation cost?

Pricing is typically based on:

  • Humidifier type
  • Complexity of your ductwork

We offer transparent estimates before the work begins.

3
What type of humidifier is best for my home?

The right choice depends on your specific needs and the size of your home.

Options include:

  • Bypass models: Great for budget-conscious homeowners who have plenty of space near their furnace.
  • Steam: The “gold standard” for moisture control.
  • Fan: For large homes or if duct space is limited.
4
Can a humidifier be added to an existing HVAC system?
Absolutely. Our technicians can retrofit a system to virtually any forced-air heating system. Ask about our process and schedule a site visit to get started.
5
What humidity level should a home be?
30% - 50%. During Chicago’s extreme cold snaps, we recommend keeping it drier to prevent condensation from forming on your windows.
6
How long does humidifier installation take?
Usually, two to four hours. Our team shows up with all of the right tools and parts to get the job done efficiently.
7
Are whole-house humidifiers worth it?

Yes. The benefits go beyond comfort.

Proper humidity levels:

  • Reduce dry skin
  • Protect wood floors and furniture
  • Keep rooms warmer, allowing you to lower your thermostat and save on energy costs
