Pasadena Commercial Humidifiers

Why Humidity Control Matters in Pasadena

Indoor air in Southern California can trend dry, especially during Santa Ana conditions and heated winter months. That low relative humidity drives static discharge, irritates skin and airways, and can warp wood, crack finishes, and destabilize sensitive products. On the other hand, over‑humidification can invite condensation and microbial growth. The solution is engineered balance—commercial humidifiers sized and controlled to maintain stable RH in the 40–60% range appropriate for your occupancy and process needs.

In offices and schools, this means better comfort and fewer disruptions. In healthcare and labs, humidity stability supports cleanliness protocols and equipment performance. In museums and manufacturing, it protects valuable collections and yields.

Systems We Design, Install, and Service

We apply the right technology for your building and budget:
• Clean steam humidifiers (electrode, resistive immersion, and gas‑fired) for precise control and broad capacity ranges.
• Adiabatic/evaporative systems (high‑pressure fog, compressed‑air atomization, and ultrasonic) for energy‑efficient latent moisture with effective heat recovery strategies.
• Ducted/AHU dispersion and in‑space distribution for both central plants and decentralized applications.
• Water treatment packages—filtration, softening, RO, and scale management—to extend equipment life and keep cylinders, nozzles, and manifolds clean.
• Advanced controls and sensors to ensure accurate RH, alarms, and trend data.

Engineered for Your Building

Our fourth‑generation team combines field experience with sound engineering. We perform load calculations, psychrometric analysis, and site surveys to account for ventilation rates, envelope leakage, occupant density, internal gains, economizer operation, and reheat/dehumidification interplay. We design to relevant standards and codes, and we coordinate with your mechanical, electrical, and controls trades for seamless integration.

Controls are built for clarity and reliability—local or BAS‑integrated via BACnet/Modbus for scheduling, setpoint resets, and trending. We calibrate sensors to reduce drift and use strategies like staged capacity and supply air dew point tracking to maintain RH targets without overshooting.

Installation, Retrofits, and Commissioning

From Pasadena tenant improvements to complex campus retrofits, we manage the details:
• Clear scopes, phasing plans, and safety protocols to minimize downtime.
• Proper steam/condensate piping, traps, insulation, and drainage to code.
• Correct dispersion assembly placement to achieve absorption distances and avoid wetting.
• Power, controls, and interlocks coordinated with AHU/RTU operation.
• Start‑up, point‑to‑point checks, balancing, and performance verification with documented setpoints and O&M training for your team.

Preventive Maintenance and Rapid Service

Humidity control is only as good as its maintenance. We offer tailored PM plans for Pasadena facilities, including cylinder/canister changes, scale removal, nozzle and manifold cleaning, water treatment verification (filters, softeners, RO), sensor calibration, and seasonal start‑up/shutdown. Our technicians stock common parts and provide prompt response to keep your environment stable and compliant.

Trusted, Local, and Family‑Owned

#1 AC Guys is a family business in its fourth generation, with 80+ years of engineering insight behind every project. Our engineers have trained at manufacturer facilities including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). Whether your project is a single air handler or a multi‑building campus, we’re built for large and complex scopes—and we treat every client like a long‑term partner. Our mission is simple: healthier indoor air for healthier lives.

Energy, Water, and IAQ Considerations

We optimize energy and water use with right‑sized equipment, effective insulation, drain heat recovery where applicable, and smart controls. We design with IAQ in mind, coordinating humidification with ventilation and filtration to reduce irritants and maintain occupant comfort. Our team can help document performance for facility standards and, where applicable, advise on potential utility program opportunities in Southern California.

Pasadena and Beyond

We proudly serve Pasadena and all of Los Angeles County, with nearby coverage in Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Local knowledge matters—microclimates, code requirements, and building stock all inform better designs and faster delivery.
