If you live in Maryland, you know how hot and humid the summer months can be. Humidity is one of the worst effects of summer, leading to discomfort and excess moisture buildup in your home. In addition, the spring and fall months can also cause high indoor humidity levels.
Instead of running your AC unit full blast to combat excess humidity levels, consider installing a whole house dehumidifier in your home. At Grove Heating & Cooling, we can help install and maintain your dehumidifier so that you can stay comfortable year-round in your Laurel, Maryland home.
A dehumidifier works with your existing cooling system. Air conditioners are designed to extract excess moisture from your air, as well as improve the overall comfort levels in your home.
However, it’s not cost-efficient to keep your AC unit on during the spring and fall months simply to remove excess moisture. Instead, a dehumidifier will extract excess moisture from the air and convert it into liquid form before being transported out of your home, leaving behind less humid air in your home.
If you already have an AC unit in your home, you might be wondering what are the benefits of installing a dehumidifier. Below are just a few.
Humidity levels can be incredibly uncomfortable, and they can lead to serious health issues such as dehydration and fatigue. Dehydration can result from excess sweating caused by high humidity. Installing a dehumidifier allows you to lower humidity levels and keep your family safe and comfortable.
If humidity levels are high during the fall or spring, you won’t have to turn on your AC unit to take away excess moisture. Instead, a whole house dehumidifier is enough to keep your home comfortable and reduce energy costs in the process.
Of course, your electricity bills will be higher during the summer months the more you use your AC unit. However, high energy bills are not normal if you are hardly using your unit or if you are using your unit at the same level. If you have high energy bills, address them with your HVAC technician since this can signal your AC unit is using more energy than necessary to run.
Excess moisture is one of the biggest causes of mold growth in homes. Mold growth can damage wood flooring and furniture in your home. For people with asthma and existing allergies, mold growth can be incredibly difficult to deal with and can trigger certain symptoms. Mold growth can lead to breathing issues, wheezing, coughing, sneezing, headaches, and more.
By using a dehumidifier, you can help improve your indoor air quality and reduce symptoms of allergies and asthma, especially in people who are sensitive to the quality of air inside of their homes, such as children and older adults. When your home’s humidity levels are balanced, dust mites will also die, as they thrive in humidity levels over 70%.
As homeowners, your furniture plays a big role in helping you unwind and providing a comfortable living environment. Sadly, many furniture pieces and upholstery can be damaged due to excess moisture. Keep your furniture clean and free of damage by using a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture.
