Whole-Home Dehumidifier Benefits
We can add a whole-home dehumidifier to your home’s existing HVAC system and ductwork. By doing this, it will pull the water vapor out of your home’s air before it recycles that air back into your house. This will help you feel comfortable, improve your air quality, and even help protect your HVAC equipment. Removing excess moisture from the air also protects your furniture, books, and other belongings made of wood or paper. When these items absorb moisture, they can warp or rot.
A whole-house dehumidifier works by pulling the air in to pass over a cold coil. This causes the water vapor to condense. The leftover water that it extracts from your home’s air will collect in either a tank or a tray. You need to empty the tank regularly for the best results. Some models include a control that allows you to set your humidifier to your desired humidity level. This ensures that your home is never too humid or too dry.
Your new whole-home dehumidifier may even save you money on your monthly energy bill by making it easier for your HVAC system to cool your home during the summer season. When the humidity levels are low, you’ll feel cooler, and you can set your thermostat accordingly.
There are specific signs you can watch for that will indicate your need for a whole-home dehumidifier.
