Areas that experience high heat and excessive humidity have specialized requirements for temperature control.
While advances in cooling technology have improved the dehumidification capability of modern cooling systems, they aren’t designed to handle moisture.
An cooling system pulls heat out of the indoor air and transfers it outside by way of refrigerant. When the house feels sticky, it can be tempting to lower the control component setting. This results in over-cooling without targeting the cause of the problem. The added use puts more strain on the cooling system and increases energy use, running costs and the probability of malfunction. High moisture levels make the air feel warmer, muggy and oppressive. A dehumidifier is designed to disfasten moisture. While there are a variety of portable options, these units require a great deal of repair. Once the reservoir is full, it needs to be emptied or the dehumidifier no longer operates effectively. Plus, the laying water can absolutely cause complications with mold growth, bacteria and all sorts of air quality complications. A better alternative is a whole- home dehumidifier. Installed into the home’s air conditioning, the dehumidifier extracts moisture from the air as it passes through. It positively impacts every room in the house. Operation is nearly silent, honestly energy efficient and the component needs only annual repair. Because the home feels cooler and more comfortable at a higher control component setting, there are less demands on the cooling system. The savings on yearly electric bills works to offset the investment into the whole-home dehumidifier. Ideal humidity levels elevate the health of the home as well. Better sleep and fewer complications with flu symptoms, asthma, respiratory infection, sore throat and more are the positive benefits of dehumidification.
