Whole-House Humidifiers in South Bend
Enjoy More Comfortable Indoor Air During the Winter Months
Here in the Michiana region, we're no strangers to freezing cold winters during which our heating systems are frequently running. While our furnaces and radiant heaters keep us warm, the unfortunate downside is that they also dry out our indoor air, sending humidity levels plummeting. This can cause a number of problems, like itchy skin and eyes, dry skin and nasal passages, scratchy throats, chapped lips, and even cold and flu symptoms.
In addition to the physical symptoms, low indoor humidity can cause expensive things in your home to dry out and become damaged, such as wood floors, furniture, or musical instruments. That’s why you need a solution that will provide your home with an adequate amount of humidity without the danger of flooding and mold damage. The solution is a whole-home dehumidifier installed inside of your HVAC system.
By keeping your indoor humidity levels in check, you can protect your health and your home. Call Great Lakes Heating & Air Conditioning now at (574) 498-7556 to ask about whole-house humidifier installation in South Bend and the surrounding areas.
The Many Benefits of Whole-House Humidifiers
Great Lakes Heating & Air Conditioning can install a whole-house humidifier in your existing heating and cooling system, bringing you improved indoor air quality, better health, and protection of your valuable items.
In addition, a humidifier will protect you from:
- Fire risk from dry wood and fabric
- Damaged wood floors and furniture
- Static buildup on fabrics and carpets
- Energy loss and high HVAC system operating costs
- Allergies and illness
- Uncomfortable physical symptoms
How Humidifiers Help Minimize Illness from Airborne Viruses
Did you know that most viruses have the same basic needs as us? They survive better in temperatures and humidity levels that we find comfortable. You may wonder why in Michiana, it seems people get sick more during the winter months. The reason is simple: the air, especially inside, is much drier. This dry air causes our throats and nasal passages to become dry and crack, providing an immediate pathway for viruses to enter our systems. Installing a humidifier can prevent the physical symptoms that make it easier for viruses to take hold and make you ill.
Humidifiers May Help You Save Energy, Too!
If all of that doesn’t convince you, then consider the fact that moisture in the air increases the temperature you “feel”. We find most people are able to lower the temperature in their home and still be comfortable, saving them more on their gas bill than the cost of the humidifier!

"I am a customer for "life." My heating and air (18 years old) needed replacement along with a cold air duct installed in the finished basement wall. I am extremely detailed (OCD) about all home improvements. I consulted Great Lakes Heating and AC and received very competitive pricing from (sales representative/Bruce) with excellent communication and follow-up during and after the sale. The two techs (Nathan and Sam) performed all install services in an excellent manner and demonstrated the excellence of the Great Lakes Heating and AC brand. Their attention to all details, careful and detailed explanations of the install processes, time of arrival, clean up after the job (daily), represent the excellence of customer services.

“I recently had my summer checkup of my furnace and air conditioning on September 5th. Clark, the service attendant who arrived at my house, was polite, friendly, and completely explained everything that he was doing. When Clark went outside to check things, he even folded up my gardening hose that I had left on my yard and placed it close to the house. Talk about great service! These service technicians always represent your company in good and unexpected ways. The other thing I want to mention is that back on January 6th, 2006 my original furnace, which was not from Great Lakes, broke down and it was about 8 degrees outside. I called a variety of furnace companies, but the only company that responded and came out to help me almost immediately was Great Lakes Heating and Air Conditioning. They got my furnace working again on one of the coldest days of the year and I have been with them ever since.”- James L.
