Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers in Altoona
Year-Round Moisture Control for Des Moines & Polk County Homes
Humidity plays a bigger role in home comfort than most people realize.

At Direct Heating and Cooling LLC, we help Altoona and Des Moines-area homeowners balance their indoor air with professional humidifier and dehumidifier solutions that work seamlessly with your HVAC system.
These systems operate quietly in the background and make a noticeable difference in how your home feels. Whether your basement always feels damp or your whole house dries out every winter, we’ll recommend the right solution and install it carefully.

Why Moisture Balance Matters
When humidity levels fall outside the ideal range (typically 30–50%), it creates a range of comfort and health issues. Many homeowners notice dry air in winter and excess moisture in summer, especially in basements or bathrooms—but few realize there’s a reliable, long-term fix.
Here are just a few benefits of properly managing indoor humidity:
- Healthier breathing – Balanced humidity supports respiratory health and reduces irritation.
- Comfortable skin and sinuses – Prevents dryness that leads to cracking skin and sore throats.
- Reduced allergy triggers – Controlling humidity helps limit dust mites, mold, and mildew.
- Protects your home – Prevents warping floors, condensation damage, and mold growth.
- Energy savings – Comfortable humidity levels allow you to feel warmer or cooler without adjusting the thermostat as much.
If your home never feels quite right, the issue could be in the moisture—not just the temperature. Humidity control often solves problems homeowners didn't realize were related to air quality.
