While being a customer of Weber & Grahn HVAC our service technicians come to your home twice a year to replace your filters during your spring and fall inspections.
Keep Your Home at the Right Humidity
Now, what do we mean by “Right Humidity”? Well think of the tale of Goldilocks and the three bears; when the porage was too hot or too cold goldilocks wasn’t happy, but when it was Just Right she was more than satisfied. The same situation for our home; When the humidity level is too hot it can cause mold to grow, while if it’s too cold it can dry out your skin and clog up your pores.
