How the Dehumidification Process Works
- A dehumidifier draws in humid air from the room through a fan.
- Inside the dehumidifier, the humid air is passed over a set of cold coils. The coils cool the air, causing the moisture in the air to condense into water droplets.
- The condensed water droplets are collected in a water tank or tray within the dehumidifier.
- The now dehumidified and drier air is then released back into the room, helping to lower the overall humidity level.
- Many dehumidifiers have the option to connect a hose for continuous drainage, which is especially useful if you need to dehumidify a space for an extended period.
What Do Dehumidifiers Do?
- Controls Humidity: The primary purpose of a dehumidifier is to control indoor humidity levels. By removing excess moisture from the air, it helps maintain a comfortable and healthy humidity range, typically around 30-50%. If the air in your house is too dry, you can instead consider installing a home humidifier.
- Prevents Mold and Mildew: High humidity levels can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which can be harmful to both health and property. Dehumidifiers help prevent these issues.
- Improves Indoor Air Quality: Lower humidity levels can improve indoor air quality by reducing allergens, dust mites, and the musty odors often associated with high humidity.
- Protects Property: Excess moisture in the air can damage your home and belongings. It can cause wood to rot, metal to corrode, and fabrics to deteriorate. Dehumidifiers help protect your property from moisture-related damage.
Signs Your Dehumidifier Needs Repair
Several signs may indicate your dehumidifier requires repair. Firstly, if you notice that the humidity level in your home remains consistently high despite the dehumidifier running, it could be a clear indicator of an issue. Unusual noises such as grinding or squeaking may also signal a problem with the internal components. If the unit is leaking water, not collecting any water, or freezing up, these are further signs of potential problems. A dehumidifier that emits unusual odors, like a musty or burning smell, may require immediate attention. Additionally, if your unit is older and hasn't been serviced in a while, it's a good idea to have it inspected, as regular maintenance can help prevent issues from arising.
