Humidifier Repair, Maintenance and Startup.
Is your humidifier disc assembly working prperly?
A disc assembly sends a little bit of moisture into the air. But
whatever your humidifier needs are your PDM humidifier specialist
can help. PDM yellow super trucks carries a variety of humidifier
parts for a quick fix. You'll know a price before we begin and have
100% satisfaction guarantee. Call the oldest
humidifier expert for help.
Do you know how to maintain and start-up your humidifier?
Keeping your home humidifier in top shape will help you stay warmer
and more comfortable all winter long. Ideally your humidifier should
be cleaned (and dried) at the start (or end) of the heating season.
You don’t want to allow film and scale to develop on humidifier
components. Although not all humidifiers are the same, here's PDM's
home humidifier maintenance program.
- Drain water. Sometimes bacteria can grow in the standing
water. Replace the water when needed.
- Clean system. A chemical and antibacterial solution may
be needed to prevent and eliminate scale and rust build up and then
thoroughly rinse out the system.
- Do you have very hard water? You’ll find
that filters need to be replaced more often and that more cleaning
(draining tank too) is required. If needed we’ll add or replace
a demineralization cartridge or filter to help reduce scale build
up.
- Disc assembly. A humidifier disc assembly collects
a thin layer of water and then air is passed through picking up
humidity and sending a little bit of comfort into every room of
your home. Your disc will be removed and cleaned. A PDM tech will
make sure the disc is free of obstructions.
- Float assembly. The float often gets stuck
when not operating during the summer. The valve must move freely
to maintain proper water level. Inspect and clean if necessary.
- Check water level and distribution system. You may have
potential problems like loose hose or piping, saddle valve, drain
cap, etc. We make sure they are securely fastened. If they leaked
it could cause a messy problem.
- Check motor and fan operation - heart of a humidifier.
- Humidifier water panel (filter). Humidifier filters
can become completely plugged with hard water scale allowing little
or no water to reach your unit. You should replace water panels
when needed otherwise your comfort will suffer and you'll have added
repairs. We'll inspect and advise you.
- Check for proper air flow and ensure all connections are
tight. Open damper door to Open position to allow hot air to flow
to humidifier.
- Test humidistat operation, adjust to comfortable setting.
Your humidifier is now clean and ready to go.
Our fall or spring maintenance and humidifier startup makes sure
your humidifier is operational for another season of comfortable living.
PDM has been installing, maintaining and repairing whole home humidifiers
for over 50 years. We have the parts and know-how to keep you comfortable.

Automatic Humidifier.
It's pretty hard to ignore the health and energy saving benefits
of a whole home humidifier.

the recommended relative humidity level should be about 35%. A humidifier
automatically adds the right amount of moisture.

saves about three percent on utilities.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Do you know what you breathe indoors everyday?
About 80% of the stuff we breathe is dead skin, then add up to 350
contaminants such as germs, bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew and fungi,
pollen, house dust and dust mites, smoke, pet dander, exhaust fumes,
food, body sweat, chemical gases like formaldehyde, and benzene from
new carpets, furniture, cleaning products, solvents, furnishings,
dry cleaning, etc.
The effects of breathing this allergy producing air pollution include
dizziness, irritability, coughing, sneezing, dry eyes, hay fever,
allergies, asthma symptoms, sinus problems, ear infections, depression,
fatigue, headaches, nausea, breathing problems, respiratory infections.
What do you expect? You can read the newspaper through standard
air filters.
Standard air filters only trap about 7% of air pollutants. You breathe
the remaining 93% of air impurities. Even the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) says Indoor Air Pollution is the number one health problem.
Electronic air cleaner & ultraviolet
germicidal purifier help.
AN electronic air cleaner is designed to remove airborne contaminates
through the principle of electrostatic precipitation. Electronic air
cleaner uses electricity to create a magnetic charge that traps particles.
The actual filter sections, or cells, can be removed and cleaned or
replaced. Your indoor air is improved by:
Ultraviolet germicidal air purifier kills a high percentage
of airborne virus, bacteria and germs.
- Medical studies using germicidal ultra-violet air disinfection
have proven effective in reducing the spread of tuberculosis, measles,
influenza, smallpox, and controlling infection in operating rooms.
- According to a Penn State University study, ultraviolet component
of sunlight is the main reason microbes like viruses or contagious
bacteria die in the outdoor air.
- Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommends the use of ultraviolet
light with simultaneous use of HEPA air filters.
Hospitals use UV germicidal purifying lights. Why not you?
You can feel better with an ultraviolet germicidal air treatment
light. UV purifier can be installed in your ductwork with the
objective of treating the air, destroying bacteria, viruses, mold,
chemicals and odors.
Your Air Purifier is on when the ventilation fan is running. As
the air continually circulates through the ventilation system, the
Air Purifier will bring the level of contamination down. With every
pass, more and more contaminants in the air are destroyed.
Combine that with estimates that we spend
90% of our time indoors and air quality becomes a concern. Call
PDM for help and breathe easier today.

Ventilation - Good Air In, Bad Air Out!
Fresh, cool air.
Exchange over-heated and moisture-laden air in your home or business
with fresh air from outside. Fresh air is supplied to all levels of
the building while stale air is removed from areas with high levels
of pollutants and moisture.
Added comfort and energy savings.
You’ll notice a dramatic difference in comfort and energy
savings. A whole house fan can create a breeze in just about every
room at the same time.
Replace all of the stale air every 2 minutes.
On mild days or after the sun goes down you can replace hot, stale
air with refreshing, cool air. A large sized whole building fan can
replace all of the air in a home every two minutes. Smaller fans will
also deliver cool air at a reduced rate.

Thermostat Can Lower Utility Bills.
Stop wasting 3 to 14% of your heating utilities.
“The rule of thumb is that you can save about 3% on your heating
bill for every degree that you set back your thermostat full-time,
says Bill Prindle, deputy director for the nonprofit
American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE).
Turn down the thermostat 10 degrees when you go to work, and again
when you go to bed -- 16 hours a day -- and you can save about 14%
on your heating bill, says Prindle.
Rising prices for heating oil and natural gas could mean BIG
bills this winter.
You’re wasting 3% to 14% a year on your heating and air conditioning
bills by not having a simple programmable thermostat. Fight the energy
war. Ask PDM to install a smart programmable thermostat. It can pay
for itself.
Myths about thermostat temperature setbacks.
True or false:
A programmable thermostat makes your furnace work harder than normal
to warm (or cool) the home back to a comfortable temperature after
the thermostat has been set back, resulting in little or no savings?
Answer is false. The longer the house remains at the lower (or higher)
temperature, the more energy saved.
True of false:
The higher the thermostat is raised, the more heat the furnace
will put out or the faster the house will warm up? Answer is false.
Furnaces put out the same amount of heat no matter how high the
thermostat is set. The length of time it must stay on to reach the
set temperature makes the difference. In winter, a significant amount
of money can be saved by setting back the thermostat for as little
as four hours per day. Night is a perfect time to start saving with
a programmable thermostat.
Call PDM Since 1885 for programmable thermostat advice now. Every
degree higher or lower can save you money! Wireless thermostats are
even available making it easy to adjust room temperatures in bed,
at your desk, or in the basement. Order PDM help online now.
