Hot and humid summer weather may prompt you to consider getting a house dehumidifier in Creve Coeur, MO. If the atmosphere in your home is uncomfortable, it could be a sign that it’s too humid.
You may notice condensation on your windows or musty smells. These warning signs indicate that it’s time to call Level 9 Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing about a whole home dehumidifier.

Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. Here in Missouri, water vapor evaporates from the lakes and rivers, increasing the amount of water vapor in the air.
As the humidity level in your home rises, your air conditioner may run more frequently to try to keep the air cool. Over time, you may notice an increase in your utility bills.
High humidity also can cause these problems in your home:
Peeling paint and wallpaper
Mold and mildew growth
Damp walls and ceilings
Damaged electronics and wood floors and furniture
Increased allergy and asthma symptoms
Portable dehumidifiers can remove some moisture from your Creve Coeur home, but they use a lot of power. These small dehumidifiers also need frequent emptying and cleaning. A whole home dehumidifier removes the humidity from your entire home.
These appliances can remove significantly more humidity than a portable unit. Some of them can connect to your home’s heating and cooling unit.
The dehumidifier’s fan draws the warm, damp air in and passes it over the cold coils. These coils cause the humidity in the air to condense into water, which leaves the unit through a drain.
Dry air passes over a warm coil, then the unit blows the air back into your home. Some units pass the air through a filter that removes viruses and bacteria from the air. When you install a dehumidifier, you’ll enjoy cooler, dryer air in your home.
You may notice decreased insect and rodent activity in and around your house. Dehumidifiers also prevent damage caused by humidity, mold, and mildew.
