Humidifier & Dehumidifier Installation in Maine
Homes in the Northeast are notorious for humidity issues all year long. Dry air in the winter does not keep heat in the home, which can result in higher energy bills during the coldest months of the year. In the summer, a humid home can be incredibly uncomfortable and can even encourage mold growth in the more moist parts of your home. The good news is a humidifier and dehumidifier can provide the right amount of relief for everyone in your family throughout the shoulder months.
If it’s time to install a whole-home solution to keep humidity at bay, turn to the certified experts at Heritage Home Service. Our expert technicians can help you determine what kind of system is right for your home, and install it right the first time – keeping your family happy and healthy all year round.

Maine Humidifier Service
Although the name “dehumidifier” suggests that it works in the opposite way of a humidification system, it’s not necessarily an air drying system. Instead, a dehumidifier runs air through a cold refrigerant coil to capture moisture and withdraw condensation. The result is dryer air through the shoulder months that helps protect your home from unnecessary wear.
If your summers involve feeling uncomfortable in the great indoors, general feelings of being “clammy” and “muggy” in your house, or deal with increased mold growth during the summer months, it might be time for a dehumidification system. The experts at Heritage can help you determine what is right for your home, and help you find the best overall options.

Does My Maine Home Need a Humidifier and Dehumidification System?
Before investing in a humidifier and dehumidification system, there are several things you will need to consider about your Maine home. The first thing is to determine what factors are causing moisture or dryness in your home. Conditions like elevation, nearby bodies of water, and sunlight exposure on your home can all play into what you experience throughout the seasons. In areas with high moisture, humidity can spike in the summer months, while dryness can affect homes in higher elevations throughout the winter.
No matter which system you need for your home, your humidifier and dehumidifier can be controlled using a humidistat. Just like a thermostat, a humidistat lets you see how much moisture is currently in your home, and helps you balance the amount of moisture in your air to ensure your comfort all year long.
How Do Whole-Home Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers Work?
While heating and cooling systems work in your home to regulate temperature and keep everyone comfortable, humidifiers and dehumidification systems work completely different. These systems work to control the amount of moisture in your home, which can boost the effects of HVAC systems and keep your home safe from unwanted mold.

When my AC quit suddenly, Heritage came in a timely fashion and did an excellent job. The four gentlemen who helped me were professional and knowledgeable. Joe diagnosed the problem and was very thorough in explaining the cost of repair versus replacement. Bobby, Harrison and the electrician Liam did the replacement and were wonderful to work with. They explained the process carefully, answered all my questions and completed the job efficiently and quickly. I would certainly call the company again for any HVAC, plumbing or electrical needs. Thanks Heritage!

First time using Heritage, as two other plumbers I’ve used in the past gave me long lead times. Heritage answered my call personally, and scheduled me same day-amazing considering it was a Saturday! I had a leaking outdoor spigot, and given the drought, waiting a week to fix it was out of the question. The technician sent out, James Shallow, could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and personable. He showed up on time, did the job seamlessly and without issue. He spent time educating us as to how to avoid this problem in the future, and it was a genuinely pleasant experience. I will most definitely use & recommend Heritage again (request Jimmy).

Alex came to fix a water main leak at my home which was pre-manufactured in the late eighties. He found and fixed the leak quickly. After the job was complete I spoke with him about the cause because this is the third time in a year with a leak. He spent the time with me explaining the material used for piping in my place and checked the water pressure. The pressure was on the high end and we both concluded between pressure spikes and old plastic pipes. I asked for an estimate to replace all the pipes. He was able to give me an estimate on the spot and found financing with very reasonable terms. Two days later Heritage Home Services was here with two trucks and completely changed out the piping in a day. In short. This place answers the phone. Gets technician on the job quickly. Great knowledge. Cleaned thoroughly before leaving.

We called several plumbers and I got “we are too busy” and “it’s too small of a job”. Not with heritage though! They were able to get us on the schedule in a timely manner and helped us with our plumbing issue. Thank you Zach! Zach was quick and professional! Will definitely use again!

I’ve dealt with Heritage for many years because of their dependability. They are not the cheapest, for sure, but if you need a plumbing or HVAC system installed or serviced/repaired, there’s none better. I needed repairs to be done on slim duct covers that were damaged after having siding installed on my home. I called Heritage because they were the company that installed the original mini-split system in my house several years earlier. John Lindonen and another technician (unfortunately, I don’t remember his name) showed up as committed and did the repair work. They were very thorough, explaining every issue to me and answered all of my questions. They were polite, and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to my family or friends.

The AI interactive was ok but screwed up my ph# so never got a call. However, Camile arrived and spent time discussing my points and activities performed, helped me tremendously and ultimately didn’t need service. He was professional, informative, and transparent so Heritage, please acknowledge his great service!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why do Maine homes need humidifiers or dehumidifiers?
Maine’s climate creates different indoor air quality challenges throughout the year. In winter, forced-air heating systems dry out indoor air, leading to dry skin, respiratory irritation, and static electricity. In summer, high humidity can cause mold growth, musty odors, and discomfort. Humidifiers and dehumidifiers help maintain healthy indoor humidity levels year-round.
-
What is the ideal indoor humidity level?
The ideal indoor humidity level is between 30 and 50 percent. Below 30 percent, air feels dry and can aggravate respiratory conditions. Above 50 percent, excess moisture can promote mold growth, dust mites, and structural damage. Heritage can test your home’s humidity levels and recommend the right solution.
-
What types of humidifiers and dehumidifiers does Heritage install?
Heritage installs whole-home humidifiers that integrate with your HVAC system to add moisture during dry winter months, and whole-home dehumidifiers that remove excess moisture during humid seasons. Whole-home systems are more effective and convenient than portable units because they treat your entire home automatically.
-
How do I know if my home needs a dehumidifier?
Signs of excess humidity include condensation on windows, musty odors, visible mold or mildew, damp or clammy feeling air, peeling wallpaper or paint, and warped wood. If your basement or crawl space feels damp, a whole-home dehumidifier can significantly improve air quality and protect your home from moisture damage.
-
Can a whole-home humidifier help with winter dry air?
Yes. A whole-home humidifier works with your furnace to add moisture to the heated air distributed through your ductwork. This helps relieve dry skin, reduce static electricity, protect wood furniture and flooring, and make your home feel warmer at lower thermostat settings, which can save on heating costs.
