Why do some contractors never offer their clients a humidifier? What are the concerns, fears, or misconceptions of humidifiers to the contractor? We asked our contractor consultants and here are their replies.
Ann Kahn of Kahn Mechanical, Dallas, noted, "Aside from the obvious fact that some areas are naturally humid and don't require humidifiers, a lot of contractors shy away from them for the liability involved. Also, some contractors just don't understand the benefit of offering add-on accessories like humidifiers, air cleaners, and setback thermostats when selling new systems."
