As whole house dehumidifiers remove moisture from the home’s air, occupants feel more comfortable. In a home that has high humidity levels, moisture makes the air feel hot and sticky – this causes many homeowners to crank up the air conditioner, though what they really need is moisture control. Drier air produced by the dehumidification system helps everyone feel more comfortable without increased air conditioning use.
Increased dehumidification across the home generates better air quality indoors. Dehumidifiers help prevent the likelihood of mold and mildew growth in the home. Balanced relative humidity levels create a healthier indoor environment for those with health issues exacerbated by high humidity, such as COPD, respiratory illnesses and certain cardiac conditions.
