If you’ve lived in Montana for a while, you’ve likely noticed that it’s rarely humid here. In the outdoors, that tends to make both the summer heat and winter cold less uncomfortable. Inside your home, however, it may have some unpleasant effects. To correct that, Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning, LLC offers comprehensive humidifier service in Columbus, MT. We sell, install, and support whole-house humidifiers to keep your home in the ideal range year-round.
Very pleased with the service and care I received from Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning! The techs were kind, respectful, and cleaned up after themselves. They made sure I was confident in knowing everything I needed to about my new central air system and the new thermostat. Highly recommend!

According to experts, your home’s relative humidity should always be between 30% and 50%. Fortunately, our area’s average outdoor humidity of 55% can help keep it in the right range. However, if your house is well air-sealed, a lack of fresh air circulation can prevent that. Then, when your air conditioner runs, it can drop your home’s humidity well below the proper level. That can lead to some significant adverse effects on both you and your household.
One of the signs that your home’s air is too dry is persistent eye irritation. Your eyes are often the first casualty of dry air because they’re exposed and typically remain moist. For the same reason, dry, itchy skin is another common symptom of persistent low indoor humidity. In some cases, you may hear it referred to as winter itch. Unfortunately, it can be a year-round problem in a dry home.
The following signs may indicate a problem with low humidity in your house.
Frequent respiratory illness
Unexplained headaches and earaches
Sleep disruptions
Cracks and damage to wood floors and furniture
Increased static electricity
A whole-home humidifier works by passing your indoor air through a water-soaked panel. As that happens, the water evaporates, increasing the humidity in the air. The unit attaches to your HVAC ductwork and either relies on its blower fan or contains an independently operated fan. They also feature a hygrometer that detects the indoor humidity level, allowing them to operate only when necessary.
