What Is a Dehumidifier?
We all know that the humidity in Texas can get a bit overwhelming. Extreme humidity can make your home unbearable. Controlling humidity is vital to having a comfortable home; if your indoor humidity level is above 50 percent, it can also be detrimental to your indoor air quality—ultimately affecting your health. High levels of humidity can also ruin wood and drywall.
Dehumidifiers make the air dryer by pulling humid air over cold coils, which turns the humidity into water that either collects into a drain or an in-unit basin. While portable dehumidifiers must be emptied by hand, whole-house humidifiers can empty collected water into a floor drain with a hose.
Dehumidifiers are extremely helpful because they significantly contribute to your home’s health and safety. For example, it treats respiratory infections, allergens, the growth of microbes and fungi, as well as warped flooring, and pests.
