Whole House Humidifier Installation & Repair Services in Huntsville
You can tell when the air inside is too dry. Your throat feels scratchy. The wood floors start creaking. Even the dog’s fur gets static. Around Huntsville, that happens a lot once the heaters kick on in fall.
A whole house humidifier can make a big difference. It adds the right amount of moisture to the air and keeps it there, so every room feels more comfortable. At Blake Brothers, we have been helping families across North Alabama with comfort systems since 1884. More than 140 years later, we still treat every job like it is for a neighbor down the street.
If the air in your home feels dry or your old humidifier is not keeping up, give us a call. We are happy to help.

How Does a Whole House Humidifier Work?
A whole house humidifier connects to your heating and cooling system. As warm air passes through, it picks up a little moisture and carries it through your ducts. The system adjusts automatically, keeping humidity steady without needing constant attention.
It is not like a small tabletop humidifier that runs out of water every few hours. This one handles your entire house and runs quietly in the background.
Why Indoor Humidity Matters in North Alabama
Our weather in North Alabama changes fast. Some winters are mild. Others drop into freezing temperatures at night. When the air outside gets dry, the air inside follows. That dry air can pull moisture out of your furniture, wood trim, and even your skin.
In the Tennessee Valley, indoor humidity also helps your home feel warmer. When the air holds a bit of moisture, the furnace does not have to work as hard. It saves energy and makes the heat feel more comfortable.
Signs Your Home Has Too Little Humidity
You can usually tell when the air is too dry, but here are a few sure signs:
- Dry, itchy skin or chapped lips
- Scratchy throat in the mornings
- Static shocks when you touch light switches
- Cracking or shrinking wood floors
- Dust that seems to appear right after you clean
- A general feeling that the air is “stale” or cold even when the heat is on
If this sounds like your home, adding a humidifier can make a real difference.
Choosing the Right Humidifier for Your Home
Not every home in Huntsville or Madison needs the same setup. Some houses are bigger, some have older ducts, and others have newer HVAC systems. We help match the right humidifier to your home.
Options include:
- Bypass humidifiers that use your furnace’s airflow for gentle moisture control
- Fan-powered humidifiers that add more moisture for medium to large homes
- Steam humidifiers that work best when you want precise control and consistent humidity
- Smart controls that monitor and adjust humidity automatically
We install dependable brands we have used for years and know will stand up to Alabama’s climate.
