You may need a house dehumidifier in Wildwood, MO, to maintain the ideal indoor humidity of 30% to 50%. Missouri is humid, especially in the summer. Even though an air conditioning system helps remove some of the humidity, it may need help.
A whole-home dehumidifier can also reduce how hard your AC needs to work to cool your residence. You can check the humidity in your home with a hygrometer. It’s important to check every room, including the basement and attic.
These often-overlooked areas are sometimes higher in humidity than the rest of the house. Bathrooms also endure more humidity due to the presence of a shower in a confined space.

Problems that high indoor humidity causes include the following:
Mold growth
Wood rot
Poor respiratory health
Increased risk of pest infestations
High humidity creates a desirable environment for mold, fungus, and other pathogens. Many types of pests also like setting up a colony where it’s humid. You can protect your home against the development of harmful pathogens and pests by using a whole-home dehumidifier.
Dust mites breed more easily under high humidity. They can irritate your respiratory system and cause allergies. You also have to clean more often because of the faster dust buildup. High humidity causes dust particles to stick together and land on surfaces.
If your home is humid during the summer, a dehumidifier may reduce your cooling bills. You won’t need to set the temperature as low on your thermostat to feel comfortable. High humidity causes a temperature to feel hotter, and extremely high humidity causes you to be uncomfortable no matter how cold you make it inside your home.
