Update 4/6/26: Zach Sperling is such a pleasant and knowledgeable technician that I recommend him highly. Thomas Heating has been a wonderful company to work with in my maintenance plan. If you are looking for a reputable company, look no more.

This company is so responsive that I love them. They respond immediately, and I trust them to tell me what needs to be done. I haven’t been steered wrong yet. They are genuinely nice to work with and honest. I use their maintenance program which I 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.

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.
Response from the owner:Hi there. I am unable to locate your customer profile. Please give our office a call at 314-471-7625 so we can get this figured out for you.

Combat St. Louis’ Dry Winters

While St. Louis is known for its humid summers, our winters can be surprisingly dry. As temperatures drop and we crank up our heating systems, indoor air moisture levels plummet. A whole-house humidifier works with your HVAC system to add moisture back into the air, maintaining optimal humidity levels throughout your home during those bone-dry winter months.

Improve Your Health and Well-being

Dry air can wreak havoc on your body. By maintaining proper humidity levels, a whole-house humidifier can help alleviate various health issues:

  • Dry skin and chapped lips
  • Irritated sinuses
  • Respiratory infections
  • Asthma and allergy symptoms
  • Dry eyes and contact lens discomfort

Protect Your Home and Belongings

St. Louis’ fluctuating humidity levels can take a toll on your home and possessions. A whole-house humidifier helps protect:

  • Wood floors and furniture
  • Musical instruments
  • Wallpaper
  • Wood trim and moldings
  • Paintings and artwork

Enjoy Silent, Even Operation

Unlike portable humidifiers that only affect a single room and require constant refilling, a whole-house humidifier offers several advantages:

  • Silent operation
  • Efficient humidity distribution throughout the entire home
  • Direct connection to water supply (no manual refills needed)
  • Consistent humidity levels in every room

Reduce Static Electricity

If you’ve ever experienced a shocking surprise when touching a doorknob or petting your cat during a St. Louis winter, you know how annoying static electricity can be. A whole-house humidifier can significantly reduce static electricity in your home by maintaining proper humidity levels, making for a more comfortable living environment.

Improve Indoor Air Quality

St. Louis’s air quality can vary greatly depending on the season and local conditions. A whole-house humidifier can help improve your indoor air quality by:

  • Reducing airborne dust particles
  • Decreasing the spread of airborne viruses
  • Minimizing allergens in the air
  • Creating a cleaner home environment

Seamless Integration with Your Existing HVAC System

When professionally installed by Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning and Heating experts, a whole-house humidifier integrates seamlessly with your existing HVAC system. Benefits include:

  • Control humidity levels from your thermostat
  • Automatic humidity adjustments based on outdoor temperature
  • Easy maintenance and servicing
  • Improved overall HVAC system efficiency

A whole-house humidifier can be a game-changer for home comfort and health in St. Louis’s ever-changing climate. Its numerous and impactful benefits include improving air quality, protecting belongings, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing static electricity.

At Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning and Heating, we’re committed to helping St. Louis homeowners achieve the best indoor environment.
