Howell Heating installs and services whole-home humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation systems, and smart thermostats for homeowners in Forest Lake and across the Northeast Metro. These systems work with your furnace and air conditioner to keep your home's air comfortable, balanced, and fresh in every season.

 

Why Does Indoor Air Quality Matter in Minnesota?

Minnesota puts your home's air through a lot. Winter air is bone dry, which can mean static shocks, dry skin, and gaps in wood floors and trim. Summer brings humidity that makes a house feel clammy even with the AC running. And because homes stay closed up tight for much of the year, stale air has nowhere to go. The right equipment helps with all three.

 

Whole-Home Humidifiers

A whole-home humidifier connects to your furnace and adds moisture to the air throughout your house, not just the one room a portable unit can reach. You don't have to refill anything, and it adjusts automatically as the weather changes. We install and service whole-home humidifiers from Honeywell®. Learn more at HoneywellHome.com

 

Whole-Home Dehumidifiers

If your home feels sticky in summer, or your basement smells musty, a whole-home dehumidifier removes excess moisture through your existing ductwork. Your air conditioner also runs more efficiently when it isn't fighting high humidity, which can help keep your cooling costs in check. We install and service whole-home dehumidifiers from Honeywell®.

 

Ventilation Systems

Newer, well-sealed homes are great at keeping heat in, but they also keep stale air, cooking odors, and moisture in. A ventilation system brings in fresh outdoor air and moves stale indoor air out, without wasting the heating and cooling you've already paid for. We can help you figure out whether your home would benefit from one.

 

Smart Thermostats

A smart thermostat lets you control your home's temperature from your phone, set schedules that fit your routine, and cut energy use when no one's home. We install and set up smart thermostats from ecobee® and Honeywell®, including ecobee models with room sensors that help balance temperatures between rooms. Learn more at ecobee.com

 

Do These Systems Need Maintenance?

Some do, but not much. A whole-home humidifier typically needs a new water panel about once a year, and every system works best with a clean furnace filter. If you're not sure what your equipment needs, call us and we'll tell you honestly.
