How Dehumidifiers Improve Indoor Comfort

Relative humidity is the measure of airborne water content within the context of temperature. Warmer air can hold more moisture, and cooler air can hold less. You generally don’t want RH above 60% because it invites mold and dust mites. Most experts recommend between 40% and 50% for optimal health and comfort. At this level, you’ll breathe easier and be more comfortable at whatever the temperature is.

RH during a Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky summer can often be in the 60s or 70s. Your home’s HVAC systems will remove some of the moisture as a byproduct of cooling. That said, it isn’t a dehumidifier, and RH will likely remain higher than is ideal. A dehumidifier targets the moisture content specifically. It removes as much as is necessary to bring the RH down to your personalized setting.

Signs Your Home Can Benefit From a Dehumidifier

High humidity can have a noticeable effect on your indoor air quality. You may notice mustiness, other persistent bad odors, and even mold. Prolonged exposure to high humidity can deteriorate paint and wallpaper throughout your home. It can warp your hardwood floors and furniture, damage your electronics, and lead to corrosion, such as on your electrical panel.

• Eye, nose, and throat irritation
• Increased allergy or asthma symptoms
• Frequent headaches and/or body aches
• Feeling muggy despite the home’s coolness

Types of Dehumidifiers and Their Advantages

The two main types of dehumidifier systems are desiccant and refrigerant. A desiccant dehumidifier absorbs water vapor from the air into a medium that eventually becomes saturated. A compressor dehumidifier uses a refrigeration process to create condensation. The moisture drips into a pan and leaves the home via a drainage pipe.

• More restful sleep
• Higher energy levels
• Elevated cognitive function
• Reduced allergy and asthma symptoms
• Less respiratory irritation and inflammation

Why Professional Installation Matters

There are two key considerations when investing in a new dehumidifier. You must know how much water vapor it can remove and how it will integrate with your HVAC equipment. We’ll perform a custom load calculation to determine the ideal size of your dehumidifier. Doing so will ensure maximum performance while minimizing your long-term costs. Our technicians will also integrate it with your HVAC equipment. That will help to maximize the efficiency of your AC and reduce wear and tear on it. You’ll be able to use your thermostat to adjust RH just as you do temperature.
