A dehumidifier can keep your humidity levels below 50%, ideal for comfort and healthy breathing. We offer whole-house dehumidifiers to combat the excess moisture in your home.
Although most people equate high humidity levels with summer, winter can also cause increased humidity, especially if your furnace is not working up to par. Warmer air can hold more moisture than cooler, but when we turn our furnaces on in the winter, humidity sometimes becomes a problem.
Dehumidifiers work with your HVAC system or as stand-alone units installed in basements. These systems aim to keep the relative humidity in your home between 30% to just below 50%.
The following signs point to an excess humidity problem in your home:
- Condensation on your windows during winter
- Moldy, musty smells throughout your home
- Peeling, cracking, or blistering interior paint
- Breathing difficulty
- Wet patches on ceilings
Do not ignore these warning signs. Rotting can occur because of excessive moisture, and mold can wreak havoc on your family’s health, especially with long-term exposure.
Although there are portable room dehumidifiers, these are not effective at controlling the humidity levels throughout your home. Whole house dehumidifiers draw air through the return ductwork, causing the warm, moist air to condense.
The drips fall into a collection pan, so the excess moisture no longer circulates through the air. These machines only remove a percentage of the moisture in the air so the air does not become overly dry.
We will come to your home and check your furnace to ensure it works properly. Our technicians will look for the signs of excess moisture in your home so we can offer the most effective HVAC dehumidifier on the market. Multiple options are available depending on your HVAC system, home size, and budget.
