Our HVAC experts recommend whole-house humidifiers to best improve the internal air quality.
A humidifier is an appliance that adds moisture to the air through water vapors. There are various types of humidifiers available in the market. From stand-alone humidifiers for a single room to whole-house humidifiers, you have enough choices to meet your needs. Â Â A whole-house humidifier is attached to the home’s HVAC system. It connects directly with the house’s water supply and produces steam humidification. This steam travels through the ductwork of the HVAC system and humidifies air in the entire house.
0 stars if I could. Bought a faulty (not to mention overpriced) surface igniter, called back five minutes later after installing, of course they didn’t stand behind their part. Go to Grainger instead. Same (working) part, half the price.

He did a great job. We can already tell the difference since the ducts and vents were cleaned. Would recommend an use Hoffman again in the future.

Response from the owner:We are so happy to hear you had a great experience, Sam! Thank you for the review, and thank you for your business.
Your service technician was very professional and knowledgeable. And did not appear to try to give me bogus information. I truly appreciate his honesty because several other companies did not appear to be honest, obviously wasn’t honest, my gut feeling told me they were not honest and tried to get me to spend $10,000 for a problem that was much simpler to fix. I look forward to you servicing all my properties, and possibly those of the rest of my family.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words and great review! We appreciate your support.
Very prompt, communication was great, and the workers were very polite. I highly recommend them!

My neighbor referred these guys to me when had water heater problem. Previous company told me I needed to replace it. Tom’s technician fixed it for less than $200. This was over 2 years ago and have been using their service ever since. They are very trustworthy.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Mary, for sharing your experience and for trusting us with your water heater issue; we're glad our technician could help and that you've continued to rely on our services!
I called this company earlier today because I was having a bunch of issues with my HVAC system. They were incredibly friendly and walked me through troubleshooting step by step over the phone. They didn’t even charge me for the call. Thanks to their honest advice, I was able to get things running smoothly again. Really grateful for their help and would definitely recommend them if you want straightforward and trustworthy service. Five stars all the way!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the glowing review, Hector! We appreciate your business and look forward to working with you in the future.
Nick did not set current time. — Monday Hoffmans Zach came to fix correct time. We DID NOT want a timed thermostat — we prefer to set temperatures manually

Assessing the Need for a Whole-House Humidifier
Most modern HVAC systems come equipped with a humidifier. If you do not have one in your HVAC system, you should call on an HVAC company to have it installed because no matter how sophisticated your HVAC system is, it will never be able to provide you with perfect air quality unless it has a humidifier installed. If you are feeling cold despite your heating system working at its total capacity, or if you suffer from an irritated nose quite often, then there are chances that the air inside your house is too dry, and you need a humidifier.
Dry air can cause many problems. It can damage your health, comfort, furniture, flooring, wall paint, and other property.
Here are some benefits that you can achieve by installing a humidifier in your HVAC system:
Health Benefits
Dry air causes discomfort and several respiratory problems. You may find breathing in dry winter air hard, and the nose remains dry and irritated. People with asthma or allergies become afflicted by dry air. Also, dry air causes skin irritation, dryness, and chapped lips. Dry air also makes the membranes thinner, causing nose bleeds. A humidifier can help improve air quality, relieve discomfort, and prevent health problems caused by dry air.
Energy Savings
Dry air makes you feel colder, but on the other hand, moist air makes you feel warmer even at the same temperature. The humidifier increases the air’s moisture, making you feel less cold. So, if you feel cold even when the heating system is on, you need a humidifier in your HVAC system. This helps take some load off the heating system and saves energy. This translates into lower power bills.
Other Benefits
Dry air poses health threats and causes the flooring and furniture to crack and become brittle. It may also cause the furniture finish and paint to peel. A humidifier can make the air moist and prolong the life of your property.
