5 Benefits of a Whole-House Humidifier

Humidity comes right behind temperature in importance when it comes to having a comfortable home. However, it’s usually hard to get the right amount of both. When the temperature rises, humidity drops. You’ll often see this in colder areas when people turn on their heat for the winter. If you want to keep the air in your home humid, your best option is to call Crystal Blue to install a whole-house humidifier for your home. By installing it into your cooling and heating system, it’ll release water vapor into your home from the ductwork.

A whole-house humidifier is installed near your furnace and connects to your water supply. When active, water will constantly run through it, turn into vapor, and flow through the ducts. Also, when your furnace is running, some of the air it cycles goes into the humidifier. This air goes through the humidifier and rejoins the rest of your home’s airflow. By doing this, your home’s average air humidity increases.

Here are five benefits of installing a whole-house humidifier in your home:

 

Save on energy bills

When it gets cold, increasing the thermostat isn’t the only way to stay warm. Humid air is capable of capturing more heat. This makes humid air feels warmer even if it’s cooler than other air. As a result, you can lower your thermostat and save money on heating.

 

Less static electricity

Dry, cold air tends to generate more static electricity. Having a humidifier in your home can help reduce the chances of you getting shocked.

 

Comfort

Dry air can dry out your nasal passages and skin, which can be irritating and aggravate your breathing. Getting a whole-house humidifier can help keep you comfortable and healthier. Also, being able to breathe comfortably can help you sleep better at night.

 

Health benefits

Humid air can not only keep you comfortable, but it’s also capable of helping with your health. In particular, people with asthma or other breathing problems can have trouble with dry air. Dray air can dry out their respiratory system, giving them a higher chance of asthma attacks or similar problems. A whole-house humidifier is very valuable to those with breathing problems. Also, most viruses and bacteria have difficulty surviving in the humid air.

 

Protect your furniture

Dry air can make your home’s furniture wear out quicker. Paper, for example, can become more brittle while wood and wooden furniture will warp, crack, and shrink. Having a whole-home humidifier can help you extend the life of your furniture.

4 Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair in California

4 Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair in California

Broken sewer pipes are always a problem, but it can get even worse if you’re a big fan of your garden. Most methods to treat your sewer line involves digging a large trench through your yard so your sewer pipes can be accessed. However, there’s a way to fix your sewer pipes with minimal damage to your garden. Trenchless sewer repair allows us to bypass most of the digging and fix your pipes with minimum damage. Learn how Crystal Blue Plumbing can help your home by providing trenchless sewer repair for your California home.

Here are four benefits of getting a trenchless sewer repair for your California home instead of a conventional sewer repair:

 

Less expensive

Trenchless sewer repair work is quicker and requires less work compared to normal sewer repairs. This means trenchless sewer repair costs us less in labor, and we pass the savings onto you. Also, the lessened damage to your yard means post-work yard repair costs will be lower.

 

Save your landscape

As the name suggests, trenchless sewer repair doesn’t require a large trench to be dug on your property. To reach your pipes with conventional work, we’d have to dig a big trench to find your sewer pipes and the problem area. Not only would this be very messy, but it’d also damage your lawn and garden. In the worst cases, we’d have to break through harder parts of your property, such as walkways or your driveway. With a trenchless sewer repair, digging is kept to a minimum and we greatly decrease the potential damage to your property.

 

Quick and convenient

Being able to quickly fix your pipes isn’t just a benefit for our company. When you get a regular sewer repair job, you’ll experience days of having a big trench in your yard as the workers do their work. Instead, you’ll see our workers fix or replace your pipes in a matter of hours!

 

Capable of repairing and replacing

It doesn’t matter how damaged your sewer pipes are. Trenchless sewer repair is capable of handling repair and replacement jobs. To fix leaky pipes, we slide in a pipe liner through the end of the pipeline to cover up the leak. For broken pipes, we pull a pipe-bursting head through the pipe as it trails new piping in behind it. This means we can replace an entire sewer line with barely any digging!

 

Why call Crystal Blue Plumbing to fix my sewer pipes?

Not every plumbing contractor offers trenchless sewer pipe lining and trenchless sewer line pipe replacement. The equipment is costly and requires special training to use. But we focus on delivering the best service to all our customers, and we’ve made trenchless technology a cornerstone of our plumbing work.

We started in business in Sacramento, CA more than 40 years ago, and we’ve worked hard to establish ourselves as a respected plumbing contractor with a reputation for integrity and reliability. All our employees abide by a strict code of ethics to ensure you have complete customer satisfaction. At Crystal Blue Plumbing, Heating & Air we’ll go above and beyond to make you a customer for life. Call us today to schedule your sewer repair!
