As the name implies, dehumidifiers reduce the level of humidity in a target area. This is true whether it’s installed in a business, an attic, a bedroom, or a basement. By lowering the amount of moisture in the air, these systems make a space feel less ‘sticky’ while reducing musty odors. They also reduce the burden your air conditioner has to lift during rainy days. While portable dehumidifiers exist, we find most homeowners prefer the permanent, wide-ranging effect of a whole-house dehumidifier.
While it’s pretty obvious when your AC or furnace goes out, air quality issues tend to be much more insidious. They don’t call attention to themselves like a furnace or air conditioner malfunctions on an uncomfortable day. But there are signs that your home might be in need of moisture reduction:
A whole house dehumidifier pulls in air from throughout your home, removes the moisture from it, and then pushes it back throughout your ducts. The collected water is then piped into a plastic container or drained outside. The latter allows for fewer maintenance visits and a lesser likelihood of overflowing. This process, though simple—provides numerous household benefits. Foremost among these are:
As you can see, almost every home in Plainfield can reap some kind of benefit from dehumidifier installation.
