Routing maintenance of your Humidifier System.
1) Clean Once a Season - Humidifiers should be cleaned at the beginning of every heating season. If the water in your area is hard or has a high mineral content you will probably need to clean your humidifier more often. Look in your owner's manual for the correct procedure for cleaning the components of your humidifying unit.
2) Replace Evaporator Pad - The evaporator pad should be replaced before each winter season. Check your owner's manual for the proper procedure.
3) Get Professional Maintenance - Routinely have a professional contractor perform maintenance on your humidifier to keep your unit running smoothly and efficiently for many years to come. To save money consider purchasing a maintenance agreement for your heating and air conditioning system. Many plans include pre-season maintenance twice a year and cost about $140 to $250. A plan will help the contractor find problems before they lead to a breakdown and will help save you money by keeping your electric bills lower.
