Q: How does a whole-house humidifier affect energy consumption and energy bills?

• <div><p>A whole-house humidifier can positively impact energy consumption by improving heating efficiency. During colder months, humidified air feels warmer, which allows you to lower your thermostat without sacrificing comfort. This adjustment can lead to significant energy savings as your heating system works more efficiently. However, it's important to use the humidifier judiciously, as excessive humidity could potentially strain your cooling system in warmer months.</p></div>

Q: Do whole-house humidifiers work?

• <div><p>Whole-house humidifiers work, but the home itself determines their efficacy. If you have a drafty house or an old home with wooden floors that leak air and moisture, the humidifier must work much harder to keep moisture levels constant. Because of this, we recommend<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-indoor-air-quality-testing-cost.htm"> doing an air test</a> of your home to determine the best type of humidifier and any work that needs to be done to install it. </p></div>

Q: Do air purifiers cause dry air?

• <div><p>No, air purifiers neither cause dry air nor increase the home's humidity levels. They remove allergens and dust but don't alter the water content in indoor air. However, because some air purifiers move large volumes of air, the areas immediately surrounding a portable unit can feel cooler and dryer than the rest of the home. </p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to a misting system?

• <div><p>An evaporator or swamp cooler is a common alternative for small spaces. These coolers blow moist air into a space to help cool it down. They are more affordable than misters and use much less water. However, coolers will not have the same cooling effect as misters, cannot help plants survive the heat, and only reach a small area.</p></div>

"We own a home-based business which relies heavily on our computers operating efficiently. We have had a service contract with another computer repair business for several years. Recently when we were having problems with our computers, we tried contacting our service contractor multiple times. He never responded. Feeling frustrated, I contacted James at North Alabama Technical Services and explained our situation. He instantly came to our rescue. He "cleaned-up" our computers and took care of all the problems we were experiencing. He went above and beyond to help us in our dire time of need. We would strongly recommend James and his company for computer service needs. We have now retained him on a service contract and are looking forward to working with him in the future."
