Fall and Winter in Erlanger, KY, are notoriously dry and can be tough on your allergies, skin, and sinuses. A working, efficient humidifier can make all the difference in your comfort throughout the year. To keep your humidifier in top condition, you should know when it’s time to have the experts at Niceley’s Appliance Repair service your humidifier. Below, they explain how replacing your humidifier water panel on time can help you avoid watery eyes, dry skin, and congestion.

What to Know About Humidifier Appliance Parts

Why You Should Replace the Water Panel

The water panel evaporator is the heart of your system. It generates humidity when water is applied to it, and the air picks up that moisture and carries it through the home. Because the water applied to your water panel contains minerals, these particles build up on the humidifier pad. As they build up, they clog the panel and reduce its effectiveness. The result is an improperly functioning humidifier and a high energy bill as your system works overtime to compensate.

When to Replace the Water Panel

The humidifier water panel should be replaced at least once per season. You can even plan your replacements for when you have a heating and air conditioning contractor in your home for other services. For example, you might have them replace the panel when they come in for a furnace tuneup during the fall. If you feel that your humidifier isn’t working as well as it should during the season, you may want to call them in to check if your panel needs to be replaced early.
