Dehumidifier Services

Beyond the discomfort of heat and stickiness, high humidity creates an ideal environment for the proliferation of mold, mildew, and dust mites. These allergens can be particularly problematic for individuals dealing with asthma and allergies. Additionally, humid conditions attract pests like termites, spiders, cockroaches, and mosquitoes.

Often, the first noticeable impact of these issues occurs in basements, as approximately 50% of the air we breathe at home enters through this space. If you're experiencing symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, or fatigue due to allergies or asthma, it might be the right time to consider a dehumidifier.

Excessive amounts of humidity can cause havoc for your home. Aside from the roll the weather plays in humidity levels, your day-to-day activities influence the humidity levels in your home as well. Activities such as cooking, doing laundry, and simply breathing can add up to 25 pounds of moisture to a home in one day! Increased humidity levels in your home can cause wood to expand and warp, support beams to rot, drywall to crack, and weakening of concrete. The recommended indoor humidity level is 40 to 60% and can be achieved with the installation of a dehumidifier.

High humidity levels can make your home feel “muggy” and warmer than it really is, leading you to be constantly turning down your thermostat in the summer months to achieve a cooler feeling. With humidity levels exceeding normal, your air conditioner will work double time trying to cool the hot, humid air. By dehumidifying your space, you will experience a “real feel” temperature in your home and decrease the run time of your air conditioner and the energy it uses. Ultimately, saving on your monthly utility bills.
