A dehumidifier helps to improve comfort and efficiency
High humidity causes a lot of concerns.
A moist environment encourages dust mites, cockroaches and mold growth.
Bacteria and viruses thrive in high humidity which then creates concerns with indoor air quality, however contaminants become airborne, circulated by the a/c and breathed by occupants of the home. Headaches, sore throat, congestion, itchy eyeah, sneezing and coughing can be blamed on high humidity. Symptoms of allergies, respiratory infection and asthma attacks are worsened. There can be significant harm to property furnishings such as antiques, musical instruments, hardwood floors, doors and molding. Anything wood tends to swell and warp in high moisture environments. Plus, excessive humidity makes the air feel moderate and clammy. It can be tempting to lower the control unit, which puts more labor on the a/c. The cooling system uses more energy, experiences greater wear and tear and there’s an increased risk of malfunction. Higher energy bills are combined with inferior comfort. It can be hard to sleep at night and feel energized during the day. While a/cs pull heat out of the air and help to combat humidity, more powerful measures are often necessary! Living in the south, I decided to invest into a whole-property dehumidifier. I tried to achieve improvement with portable dehumidifiers and got nowhere. I had to regularly empty the reservoir and noticed little reward. The bigger, better air quality device is installed right into the a/c and pulls moisture out of the air as it passes through. I’m able to customize the level of the humidity to my family’s preference. My friend and I save on our monthly bills and cherish superior comfort and healthier air quality.
