Why is a service essential?
It’s important to perform regular maintenance and servicing on your humidifiers to ensure they are working efficiently and keeping the environment at the preferred humidity levels.
Portable humidifiers are relatively simple and low cost to run but they will accumulate both lime-scale and sludge build-up if they are not cleaned and maintained regularly.
Six monthly service is recommended for preventing failure, compliance with HSE guidelines and ensuring efficient performance is maintained.
Novatron Scientific has a team of qualified, experienced engineers who will visit your premises to carry out preventative maintenance and make sure that your portable humidifiers remain safe, efficient and reliable.
Benefits of regular servicing:
- Reduces operational costs
- Complies with HSE guideance
- Protects artefacts
- Eliminates fluctuations of temperature & humidity
- Keeps air purified
- Safe & efficient operation
- Continued reliability
- Regular servicing and maintenance can extend the life of a humidifier
With regular servicing, the lifespan of a humidifier
can be extended from 4+ years to 20+ years
What happens if a humidifier isn’t serviced regularly?
If a humidifier isn’t serviced it won’t be able to deliver correct levels of humidity and its energy consumption may increase. It will also risk becoming unhygienic and present a risk to health and surface damage to materials in the room.
Some facts that the HSE states about the risks of not maintaining & disinfecting humidifiers
Any water system is potentially a reasonably foreseeable health risk if it has any of these factors:
- Stores and/or re-circulates water
- The presence of bacteria in the system water
- Where the water temperature may be between 20-45°C
- A means of creating and/or spreading breathable droplets, (aerosols)
- Likely to contain a source of food for the organism, such as contaminants from the surroundings (VOCs) or process including presence of sludge, rust, scale or organic matter
Portable Humidifiers Essential Service & Maintenance
Novatron Scientific has a team of qualified, experienced ngineers who will visit your premises to carry out reventative maintenance and make sure that your portable humidifiers remain safe, efficient and reliable.
Servicing
Regular service, cleaning and replacing consumable parts is essential to get the best from all types of humidifiers as dust and lime-scale are always a problem.
Our service contract provides you with support to protect your investment to ensure longevity. We have machines that are still in use by customers after 20+ years. These units have a 6 month service interval.
Preventative Maintenance
Planned maintenance of your humidifier will ensure reliable and safe operation all year round and reduces the risk of it failing.
We recommend at least two planned inspections each year. One should be during the autumn, before the weather turns cold. The other should be early spring to check that the humidifier is still working efficiently following the higher use over the colder weather.
Portable humidifiers are relatively simple and low cost to run but they will accumulate both lime-scale and bacterial/fungal build-up if they are not cleaned
and maintained regularly.
Our preventative maintenance contract includes top to bottom inspection and maintenance of your humidifier as well as training for your on-site staff.

We recommend changing the setting to 45% during frosty weather,
unless you have a plumbed in (auto-fill). This is because the tank may
need filling too often to keep up with, and humidity shall drop when
the tank empties (e.g. overnight, weekend, bank hols etc.)
