Cold winter air contains little moisture, and when that air enters your home and is heated, its relative humidity drops. During Michigan’s winter, this can leave indoor air feeling uncomfortably dry. Koch & White Heating and Cooling installs whole-home humidifiers in Ann Arbor, MI, to add moisture to indoor air. Balanced humidity can improve comfort and help protect wood floors and furniture.

Our company started in 1934, and today it belongs entirely to the people who work here. That ownership shows in how carefully our crews treat each home. As your Ann Arbor heating and cooling team, we know how local systems are built. That knowledge helps us match indoor air quality equipment to your existing furnace and ductwork.
Outdoor air in a Michigan winter carries little moisture. When your furnace warms that air, its relative humidity drops even further. After weeks of heating, the dryness shows up around the house.
A room at a comfortable humidity level tends to feel warmer than dry air at the same temperature. Some homeowners find they can set the thermostat a degree or two lower.
Portable humidifiers treat one room at a time, and their tanks need refilling every day. Whole-home units skip that chore entirely. During humidifier installation, we mount the unit on your furnace or nearby ductwork and connect a water line. Each time the blower runs, moisture travels through your ducts to every room. A humidistat watches the level and adjusts output automatically.
Since an HVAC humidifier depends on steady airflow, we check your furnace and ducts first. If the furnace needs work, our furnace and heating services cover it. Your cooling system shares that ductwork too, and the humidifier won’t get in its way. Beyond a seasonal water panel change, upkeep is minimal.
A humidifier is only as good as the furnace and ducts carrying its moisture. We work with those systems every day, so we know how a new unit will perform in your home. We offer free estimates, and financing on approved credit is available.

Homeowners often ask us these questions during estimates.
Most homes are comfortable between 30% and 50% relative humidity. During very cold stretches, aim for the lower end of that range. Keeping it lower helps prevent moisture from collecting on cold window glass.
It attaches to the furnace or ductwork and runs when your blower does. Warm air passes through a moistened water panel and picks up humidity before reaching your rooms.
It can help with dryness. Balanced humidity often eases dry skin and irritated sinuses. A humidifier doesn’t remove allergens, though. For that, we can talk about other indoor air quality options, such as air purifiers.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing the water panel at least once per heating season. Homes with hard water may need to replace it more often because minerals build up faster.
Yes. Air with too much moisture can cause condensation on windows, and persistent dampness can lead to mold. A humidistat keeps levels in check, and we’ll help you pick the right winter setting.
