If your house needs a humidifier to feel comfortable, then you already know that getting a good humidifier is not a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
Even with adequate maintenance and proper professional HVAC checks, these gadgets tend to deteriorate with time.
A smart homeowner knows this and prepares for such eventualities in advance by setting aside money to upgrade the unit when the time comes. Fortunately, this doesn’t happen frequently, and one can save for it over time, hence not urgently changing a unit. The good news is that you may not even have to do this ever. Sometimes all one needs to do is to change part of the unit and restore its efficiency. The water panel is one of these components that may be changed first. Knowing when to change it is what matters most. Just like the heating or cooling unit in your home, specific symptoms will show you the need to have them replaced or not. If you notice that suddenly people in your home have running noses even when it is not flu season or scratching due to itchy and artery eyes, then the humidifier may cause this. According to manufacturers of most humidifier models, these panels are best replaced after every season. This is simply because the panel is likely to be clogged even after air filtration. Whatever particles and debris pass through the filter tend to settle on the humidifier panel if you have one. Unfortunately, when the dirt accumulates, it can get to the water and eventually find its way into the human body when breathing. This is how it is likely to cause diseases and other forms of irritations. Ensure to replace the panel at least once a season for the health of your family
