"ARS installed our Carrier mini split system 4 years ago, and it?s been nothing but scare tactics and upselling since. First it was the board, then the compressor, then they said we should just replace the entire system they installed. At one point, they told us a wire had burned up ? then the system magically worked 2 days later. Fed up, we hired a licensed third-party company. They replaced both OEM boards, fixed the communication issue, and confirmed the compressor was bad but under warranty. Later that SAME DAY, ARS came out and quoted us $2,289 (discounted to $1,831) ? including a brand-new inverter board that had just been replaced HOURS earlier. We paid $1,700 total elsewhere for boards, compressor, labor, and actual honesty. If lying about a brand new part doesn?t prove how shady they are, I don?t know what does. Get a second opinion. Don?t get taken advantage of."

Unless you have advanced HVAC, plumbing, and electrical skills, hiring a pro is worth the investment. Improper installation can strain or even damage the furnace, leading to repairs that dwarf the cost of professional labor. Certified installers deliver a precise, code-compliant setup and help the system run efficiently for years.
Your whole-house humidifier choice comes down to budget and upkeep. Drum models cost less but demand frequent pad changes and vigilant cleaning to avoid mold. Flow-through units carry a higher price tag yet need less maintenance because water drains away rather than sitting in a reservoir. Decide how much ongoing work you’re comfortable handling before you buy.
Whole-house humidifier repairs average $230 but can reach $500, based on unit type, repair complexity, and local labor rates. Systems tied into extensive ductwork or large homes tend to cost more to fix. Routine maintenance, like the occasional pad change, cleaning, and inspection, helps you avoid those higher repair bills and keeps the humidifier working longer.
If indoor humidity regularly falls below 30%, a whole-house humidifier is a smart upgrade. Dry air aggravates allergies, chapped skin, and static, while ENERGY STAR recommends 30% to 50% year-round (30% to 40% in cold climates to curb condensation). If levels climb above that range, consider a whole-house dehumidifier instead.
A well-maintained whole-house humidifier lasts for 10 to 15 years. If yours is pushing a decade and performance drops or energy use climbs, start planning for a replacement. Upgrading boosts efficiency and indoor comfort, and an HVAC pro can confirm whether repairs or a new unit make better financial sense.
A whole-house humidifier is installed directly into your HVAC system and positioned near the furnace or air handler to maximize performance. It connects securely to both the ductwork and plumbing systems, ensuring complete integration. Hiring a professional guarantees a safe, efficient, and permanent installation that protects your system from future operational issues.
