As part of the Carrier indoor air quality strategy of Control, Filter
and Refresh, controlling the humidity in your home is very important!
You may not realize this, but in many cases, the air inside your home is
drier than a desert. Dry, indoor air is often the culprit for such common
problems as itchy or cracked skin, eye irritation, dry, stuffy nasal passages
and, damaged woodwork in your home. In addition to these comfort issues,
dry indoor air can increase the possibilities of catching or transmitting
cold and flu viruses and can reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of
your heating system. All of these problems can be alleviated with the help
of a Carrier humidifier. Offering three different humidifiers, Carrier can
provide enhanced indoor comfort, air quality and system efficiency with
a model designed to fit your needs.
Adding
moisture to the air inside your home improves the quality of the air that
you breathe. In addition to the comfort issues, dry air can be the ideal
atmosphere for the growth of bacteria and viruses. Viral infections such
as a cold or flu are easier to contract or pass to others under low humidity
conditions. These problems can be controlled through proper humidification
with a Carrier whole-home humidifier. Keeping your home properly humidified
can also help minimize the dust mite population and the growth of mold.
Each of our humidifiers comes standard with our humidistat control, or you
can upgrade to automatic humidity control with our HumidiTracTM
or ThermidistatTM Control options.
A Carrier humidifier enhances your ability to control system efficiency
and effectiveness. As the moisture from indoor air evaporates, the temperature
in your home feels colder. In the winter, that means you will likely turn
up the thermostat to feel comfortable. As a result, your system will use
extra energy. By putting moisture back into the air, a humidifier allows
you to remain comfortable at a lower heating temperature for lower energy
use and greater operating efficiency. To help maintain optimum performance
of your Carrier humidifier, we recommend yearly replacement of the evaporator
pad and routine cleaning of the drain.
Carrier humidifiers are equipped with many standard features.
Depending on which model best matches your system, a Carrier humidifier
will deliver between 12 and 18 gallons of moisture per day.
Carrier humidifiers are packaged in a thermoplastic cover with UV
inhibitors. Carrier is the first to offer a humidifier casing designed
to resist damage from ultraviolet light sources. This corrosion-resistant
cover also withstands the stress of high temperatures and incidental impact
for years of good looks and functionality.
These features, along with our hard-earned reputation for delivering
top-quality products make choosing a Carrier humidifier an easy choice.
Once you choose Carrier, your local Comfort Control Specialist will analyze
your system and help select the perfect humidifier model for controlling
your indoor comfort.
Carrier puts you in control of your comfort with three distinct
options for maintaining proper humidity in your home. We understand
that not all homes - and homeowners - are alike. From the very basic to
the very sophisticated, we offer three options for humidity system control.
HUMIDISTAT The
humidistat provides accurate, manual control of humidity levels. When
conditions change, simply adjust the control for more or less humidity.
Simple to set and easy to use, the humidistat comes standard with every
humidifier we offer.
HUMIDITRACTM For
automatic humidity control, you can upgrade to a Carrier HumidiTrac control.
With
HumidiTrac, set your desired humidity level, and then walk away. This
system responds to changes in outdoor temperatures, taking about 86,000
readings per day, and automatically adjusts the relative humidity in your
home for maximum comfort. HumidiTrac can help your humidifier provide
50% more moisture than standard humidifier/control combinations.
THERMIDISTATTM CONTROL The
patented Carrier Thermidistat Control combines the features of a deluxe
thermostat and an automatic humidistat to deliver comfort control no other
manufacturer offers. This optional upgrade monitors both temperature and
humidity levels, then adjusts system operation for the best combination
of comfort and energy efficiency.
Carrier has been on the leading edge of the indoor weather industry
since Willis Carrier invented what we now know as air conditioning in
1902.Since
that time, Carrier scientists, engineers and dealers have been providing
homeowners with the most advanced indoor weather technology available.
This technological advantage has enabled Carrier to customize indoor weather
systems for millions of homeowners nationwide.
Today, you can rely on your local Carrier dealer to evaluate your
indoor weather needs and suggest a customized system that fits those precise
requirements. By recommending the appropriate furnace, air conditioner,
humidifier, air cleaner, ventilator, zoning system and control, your Carrier
Comfort Control Specialist can offer enhanced comfort while improving
the efficiency of your indoor weather system. Ask your local comfort Control
Specialist for a system evaluation today.
