HVAC Dehumidifier services

While your air conditioning unit does take out some humidity from the air, it does not remove all of it. A dehumidifier can help keep water from forming stains on your walls and ceilings as well as help to keep your family healthy. Here are a few other benefits of installing a dehumidifier in your home:

Your home becomes less hospitable to mold, allergens, dust mites, and mildew. This is part of the reason it can keep you healthier, but also makes cleaning easier

Mold and mildew create musty odors. Dehumidifiers can help get rid of the smell and keep these problems at bay

Moisture in the air is often responsible for mold and mildew growing in clothes, linens, and towels. Removing the moisture in the air mitigates this risk

Less moisture means that food will last longer and electronics in the house are no longer at risk of rust and corrosion

Running a dehumidifier can actually reduce energy costs. This is because your AC unit will not have to work as hard to keep your home cool and to combat the humidity

These benefits of owning a dehumidifier seem great, but you don’t need one–do you? It is easy to become acclimated to a certain level of humidity in your home. Although you might not notice it, other people will. If you read the above list and recognize or relate to any of those problems, you should consider the installation of a dehumidifier. There are actually a couple other signs that you should consider this appliance:

Condensation on the windows of your home
High humidity rooms that don’t have ventilation (bathrooms with no windows)
A damp basement with no evidence of water intrusion
Visible mold- if you keep your home relatively clean, mold shouldn’t sporadically grow
