Extend The Life of Your Equipment

Regular humidifier maintenance prevents mineral build‑up, improves efficiency and extends equipment life. We clean or replace pads, check water lines and calibrate controls for consistent indoor humidity.

Importance of Humidifier Care

Without maintenance, scale can clog pads and valves, leading to leaks or reduced moisture output. Annual service keeps your humidifier running smoothly and prevents water damage.

What We Do

Inspection: We examine the humidifier cabinet, pad, drain and water line for signs of wear or leaks.
Cleaning: Mineral deposits are removed from the pad, reservoir and float to ensure proper water flow.
Pad replacement: Evaporator pads are replaced annually to maintain moisture output.
Control calibration: We verify humidity settings and adjust controls so your home doesn’t become too dry or damp.

Benefits for Homeowners

Maintaining your humidifier keeps indoor air comfortable during our dry Alberta winters. Adequate humidity helps reduce static electricity, protects wood flooring and furniture, and makes your home feel warmer, allowing lower thermostat settings.

Service Plans

Humidifier maintenance can be part of a broader HVAC service plan. Plans include annual visits, priority scheduling and discounts on parts and labour.

  Chose First Call for the installation of a new furnace and AC a few years ago. From the quote to the installation to the service, everyone from First Call has been thorough and thoughtful from start to finish. Can’t recommend them enough and I hope they will decide to do service and warranty work on Devon soon so that I can continue working with them in my new home.

  I am pleased with the estimator, Chris.  He was punctual, informative and knowledgeable of his craft.  He was forthcoming and honest, didn’t candy coat the quote.  As this was just a quote and no service or payment was issued, I chose the least price range.

Humidifier Maintenance FAQs

How often should I replace the humidifier pad?

Evaporator pads should be replaced once a year, or more often if you have hard water.

Why is water leaking from my humidifier?

Clogged pads, blocked drains or faulty solenoid valves can cause leaks. A technician can diagnose and fix the issue.

What humidity level is best?

Most homes are comfortable between 30 and 50 percent relative humidity. We can help set your controls appropriately.

Does a humidifier add to my energy bill?

Yes. All parts and labour are covered by our service warranty for your peace of mind.

Can I maintain my humidifier myself?

Homeowners can change pads, but professional service ensures valves and controls are functioning correctly.

Do humidifiers cause mould?

When maintained correctly, whole‑home humidifiers should not cause mould. We check for proper drainage and adjust humidity levels to prevent excess moisture.
