Signs Your Home Humidifier Needs Service

Imbalanced Humidity
Comfort extends beyond temperature. Imbalanced humidity affects both your well-being and your comfort at home.
Rising Heating or Cooling Bills
Dry air makes a home feel colder, so you compensate at the thermostat and pay for it every month.
Unit Ten to Fifteen Years Old
A humidifier’s standard lifespan is ten to fifteen years. Past that, weigh repair cost against replacement.
Frequent Repairs
As repairs become more frequent, the cost-effectiveness of repairing rather than replacing shifts.
Clogged Filters or Sensors
Filter replacement, diagnostics, and sensor faults are among the most common humidifier service needs.
Motor or Electrical Faults
Motor repairs and electrical component issues need a technician rather than a homeowner fix.

Paul
3 months agoThomas was professional and went a step above. Did a great job to show me everything that I had to keep an eye on and cleaned up like he wasn’t never there. Price wise I’m on their membership program we bought with our new system. They’ve been good so far and it’s been a few yrs now.
Michelle Mullins
4 months agoShowed up on time. Respectful, kind, and efficient. I’m sure my husband could have replaced the capacitor but for the price and convenience we were happy to spend our money here. They installed our furnace last year and we have always happy with CJS.
Richard Wirey
5 months agoTyler came in explained in detail what was about to take place and what I needed. Fixed and arranged it for me to pay with ease. The whole task was simple and fast. I would recommend your services with your company anytime to anyone! Thank you so much for helping us!
A Wal
5 months agoWe had an issue with our sump pump going off, even though there wasn’t any water problem, and it turned out the entire unit needed to be replaced. We called Bassett that morning, and they were able to offer same-day service, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, I received texts and calls keeping me updated that they were still coming, even as other jobs ran longer. I didn’t mind the delay at all—it was clear they were doing their best to fit us in. Josh arrived later in the day and spent a few hours replacing the sump pump. He explained everything clearly and was both informative and understanding throughout the process. He also took the time to look at another issue, took photos and measurements, and said he would follow up after speaking with his boss. What really stood out was his professionalism and attitude. Even after 6 p.m., when he mentioned he still had two more stops to go, he never once rushed or made us feel like just another job. He made us feel like a priority, and that meant a lot. We’re very grateful for the service and would absolutely recommend Bassett, and especially Josh, to others.
Michelle McElwee
7 months agoWe got estimates for a new water softener. I hadn't compared prices anywhere else. After receiving your estimate I called another service. To install and replace it was 5 and 6000 dollars less. Wow what a difference. We are going with the other service. Dale was great. He was very helpful. And so nice. The gal on the phone was also nice. Overall great experience. It just a money thing. Thank you so much Have a nice spring, Michelle
