High indoor humidity is more than just an annoyance – it can lead to severe problems in your home, from mold growth and musty odors to structural damage and health issues.
While homeowners can take some basic steps to combat excess moisture, effective humidity control often requires professional expertise and equipment. Enlisting the help of HVAC professionals like Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning and Heating can create a comfortable, healthy indoor environment.
Just had our annual service on our furnace. The technician was very professional, friendly, thorough and spent time explaining what all he did and what his recommendations were going forward. Couldn't be happier. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THOMAS HOFFMAN AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING.
Zachary was very professional and friendly and we would be happy to have him return to work on our furnace again in the future!
Excellent! Highly recommended
I called on a Monday morning as air conditioning was blowing warm air. They were able to come to my house very early afternoon and fixed the problem. Would highly recommend and will use them again.
Response from the owner: Becky thank you so much for your great review. We appreciate your business and your kind words.
This company is so responsive to me that I love them. They respond immediately and I trust them. It always cost me, but that is the nature of the beast. I haven’t been steered wrong yet. They are genuinely nice to work with and honest. I use their maintenance program as well. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words, we truly appreciate your trust in us and are glad to hear about your positive experience with our services.
They were outstanding and got us cool very quickly.
Response from the owner: Bill, we're so glad we could help you out quickly! Thank you!
Great job done quickly and I loved how they were on time. Thank you for providing great customer service.
Response from the owner: Myrtle, we're so glad you're happy with our service. Thank you for your kind words!
Giovanni was good…. This is reason we ask for him
Response from the owner: Thanks so much!
Zac and Giovanni are always extremely polite, considerate and professional. We are thrilled to have the new A/C unit. Our unit was 18 years old and stopped working in the thick of 100 degree weather. Tom (the owner) came over within an hour (after hours) and bought us time by changing out some parts until we could have the new one installed. We’re very happy with Thomas Hoffmann A/C and Heating!
Response from the owner: Katie, we're delighted that Zac, Giovanni, and Tom were able to assist you promptly and effectively during the heatwave. Thank you for choosing Thomas Hoffmann A/C and Heating!
Honest takes his time to listen and help you without charging Arm and a leg
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words, Carrie! We truly appreciate your feedback.
Couldn't be happier with our experience. Our AC stopped working after typical hours and they were the only "24/7" HVAC service who was able to come out same day. Not only were they fast, but they identified and fixed the problem immediately and did some preventative maintenance (and showed me how to do it) to prevent it from happening again. Will absolutely use them again in the future.
Response from the owner: We're so glad to hear about your positive experience, Hannah White! Thank you for choosing us and we look forward to helping you again in the future.
Great service! Prompt, polite and got the job done quickly.
Response from the owner: We're so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us! Thank you for your kind words.

Caught in a bind one evening (no AC), I called for an appointment to get mine repaired. They came out the next morning, one half hour early! Within 30 minutes we back up and running!! Thank you, Thomas Hoffman. You are my guys!
Response from the owner: Thank you for choosing us, Sue! We're glad we could help you out quickly and get your AC up and running smoothly again! Thomas Hoffman and the team appreciate your kind words!

Fantastic experience! Our AC went out on a scorching Saturday evening. I wasn’t actually expecting anybody to get out that night, but when calling - I immediately got an answer, was on the schedule in 5 minutes, and Thomas showed up an hour later. He was honest, professional, and educational. Most importantly, I didn’t feel like he was cutting corners or trying to get in and out… a welcome contrast from most services these days. 6 stars out of 5, highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your experience, Andrew! We're so glad to hear that Thomas provided such honest and professional service for your AC needs. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future.

Understanding the Complexity of Indoor Humidity
Controlling indoor humidity is a delicate balance that involves multiple factors:
- Climate: Different regions face unique humidity challenges.
- Home construction: The materials and design of your home affect moisture levels.
- Ventilation: Proper air circulation is crucial for moisture control.
- HVAC system efficiency: Your heating and cooling system is vital in managing humidity.
- Daily activities: Cooking, showering, and breathing add moisture to your indoor air.
Given these complexities, a one-size-fits-all approach to humidity control is rarely practical. Professional HVAC technicians have the knowledge and tools to assess your specific situation and implement tailored solutions.
Professional Humidity Control Solutions
Whole-Home Dehumidification Systems
While portable dehumidifiers can help in small spaces, they’re often insufficient for whole-home humidity control. HVAC professionals can install whole-home dehumidification systems that work with your existing HVAC setup. These systems can:
- Remove moisture from the air throughout your entire home
- Operate more efficiently than multiple portable units
- Help maintain optimal humidity levels automatically
HVAC System Optimization
Your air conditioning system naturally removes moisture from the air as it cools your home. However, an improperly sized or poorly maintained system may not effectively control humidity. Professional HVAC technicians can:
- Assess whether your AC system is appropriately sized for your home
- Clean and maintain your system for improved performance
- Adjust settings to enhance dehumidification
Advanced Ventilation Solutions
Proper ventilation is crucial for controlling indoor humidity. HVAC professionals can assess your home’s ventilation needs and implement solutions such as:
- Energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) or heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs)
- Bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans with humidity sensors
- Attic ventilation improvements
Ductwork Inspection and Sealing
Leaky or poorly insulated ductwork can contribute to humidity problems by allowing moist air to enter your home. Professional duct sealing and insulation can:
- Help prevent humid air from entering your living spaces
- Improve overall HVAC system efficiency
- Contribute to better indoor air quality
Smart Home Integration
Modern HVAC solutions can integrate with smart home systems for more precise humidity control. Professional installers can set up the following:
- Smart thermostats with humidity sensors and controls
- Automated ventilation systems
- Whole-home monitoring and control systems
The Benefits of Professional Humidity Control
Investing in professional humidity control solutions offers numerous potential benefits:
- Improved comfort: Consistent humidity levels can make your home feel more comfortable year-round.
- Better health: Proper humidity control may reduce allergens, mold spores, and other airborne irritants.
- Energy savings: Efficient humidity control can potentially lower your energy bills by reducing the load on your HVAC system.
- Property protection: Preventing excess moisture helps protect your home from structural damage, paint peeling, and wood rot.
- Peace of mind: Professional solutions offer reliable, long-term humidity control without constant homeowner intervention.
