Humidifier & Dehumidifier Installation in Massachusetts
Humidity plays an important role in your overall comfort indoors. Excessively dry air can’t retain heat as well as humid air, which leaves us needing to crank up the heat during winter to feel comfortable and leading to expensive heating bills. It can also increase the transmission of illnesses such as seasonal colds and flu when our natural defenses are weakened by dry air.
Too much humidity and you’re left feeling muggy and uncomfortable no matter the season and is a breeding ground for mold. While many homeowners turn to portable solutions when trying to manage the comfort of a single room, over time they can become costly and expensive to run when trying to manage the humidity of your entire home.
If you’re thinking about installing a whole home solution, the fully licensed HVAC technicians at Heritage are humidity control experts and can help design a system that meets your needs.

Humidifiers and Dehumidifier Services in Massachusetts
How Dehumidifiers and Humidifiers Work
Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers are exact opposites of each other when it comes to their functionality but have the same goal in mind; control your home’s indoor humidity (moisture) levels. While a humidifier adds humidity to your home’s air using either your existing ductwork or a ductless steam system, a dehumidifier removes humidity like an air conditioner, but without its cooling function, and at much greater volumes.
When you have a whole home humidity control system installed, the costs may be higher initially upfront, but the efficiency and controllability far outweigh the use of portable units. Whole home systems can be easily controlled via a humidistat, which accurately displays your home’s indoor humidity levels and can be set to automatically maintain the level you set it to. The actual equipment is usually out of sight as well, being stored in the same place as most other comfort systems in your home.

Why Do Massachusetts Homes Need Dehumidifiers or Humidifiers?
The simple answer is comfort. We have a lot of older homes in Massachusetts, and that means insulation and construction tolerances often aren’t as tight as homes built today. We are also surrounded by lots of sources of water such as natural springs, rivers, and lakes. This means we tend to have very humid summers and dry winters since colder air can’t carry as much moisture.
However, it’s possible to experience high humidity even during winter when we have our heat running. Things like showers, dryers, and dishwashers can add humidity to the warm indoor air. This can form as condensate on cold surfaces such as windows, and lead to things like mold build-up and a general feeling of mugginess inside. With a whole home humidifier or dehumidifier, you can virtually eliminate any of the above issues and keep you and your family feeling comfortable all year long.

It can also make you feel clammy and muggy indoors, regardless of the temperature inside. This is why Heritage offers solutions to our Massachusetts customers to keep their indoor humidity in check. We can also provide routine maintenance or repair for most residential makes and models.

- Fan-powered humidifiers
- Bypass humidifiers
- Steam humidifiers

What Our Customers Are Saying
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!

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!

Derek Clark from Heritage Home Services did a fantastic job for us. He installed a new garbage disposal and fixed a leaky bathroom faucet quickly and efficiently. He was professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant to have in our home. He took the time to explain everything, completed the work with care, and left the area clean when he was finished. We really appreciated his friendly attitude and excellent service. We’d definitely recommend Derek and Heritage Home Services to anyone looking for a reliable plumber!
