The Benefits of a Dehumidifier System for Your Home
Discover the benefits of a dehumidifier system: improved air quality, better health, cost savings, and increased comfort. Clean air is easier to breathe, while excessive humidity promotes mold and musty odors that can be harmful. A dehumidifier eliminates excess moisture, making the air safer and cleaner.
Excessive moisture doesn't just affect your health; it also damages your property. Dampness leads to rot in wooden structures and compromises your home or commercial space. It can even cause floors to buckle or sag. Protect your home's interior, electronics, furniture, and textiles with a dehumidifier.
By removing excess moisture from the air, a dehumidifier makes your home feel cooler during summer months. This allows you to set the thermostat higher and save money on energy bills. Plus, drier air is easier for HVAC units to handle, reducing their runtime.
When to Use a Dehumidifier: Signs and Solutions
Don't let excess humidity dampen your home. While a dehumidifier is not necessary year-round, it becomes crucial during warm, rainy weather and humid summer months.
So, how do you know if it's time to invest in one? Look out for these telltale signs:
- Mold and mildew growth on walls or surfaces
- Musty odors permeating your home
- Condensation on windows
- Warping wood floors or furniture
- Rotting wood on window sills or baseboards
- Water stains on ceilings and walls
- Insect infestations indoors
- Rooms feeling stuffy or clammy
- Increased allergy symptoms and sickness
Let our experienced Aire Serv of Wake County professionals conduct humidity readings throughout your home to determine the air quality. Say goodbye to excess moisture and hello to a healthier living environment!
Effective Solutions for Humid Basements and Bathrooms
Basements are notorious for being humid and damp. Common causes include leaking groundwater, humid air, improper appliance venting, and poor insulation. Protect your basement from mold, mildew, pests, and insects with a permanent basement dehumidifier.
Your bathroom is probably the most humid room in your house for a reason. Hot baths and steamy showers create moisture. While a whole-home dehumidifier can help reduce overall bathroom humidity, it's crucial to properly ventilate each bathroom with a fan that expels moist air outside. Prevent mold and mildew in your bathroom and attic with an efficient vent fan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a whole-home dehumidifier or a portable dehumidifier?
When it comes to maintaining good air quality, choosing the right dehumidifier is essential. Opting for a portable dehumidifier that is too small will result in frequent emptying of the basin. On the other hand, selecting a portable dehumidifier that is too big will waste energy and potentially create excessive noise.
Should I invest in multiple portable dehumidifiers or a single whole-home dehumidifier?
Make an informed decision based on your specific humidity issue. For homes located in humid climates or homeowners seeking a convenient "set it and forget it" system, a whole-home dehumidifier is ideal. However, if you live in a relatively dry climate where infrequent dehumidification is required, investing in a whole-home dehumidifier may not be necessary.
Do whole-house dehumidifiers consume excessive electricity?
Contrary to common belief, whole-house dehumidifiers are surprisingly energy-efficient. A small 30-pint dehumidifier consumes around 300W of energy, while a larger 70-pint version uses approximately 700W of energy. This amounts to much less electricity usage compared to everyday household appliances like hair dryers. To further minimize energy consumption, consider installing a more energy-efficient option.
What size dehumidifier should I choose?
Determining the appropriate size of your dehumidifier depends on factors such as the space's dimensions and relative humidity levels. Portable dehumidifiers come in various sizes and are typically smaller than whole-home units designed for larger properties. Our expert team in Wake County utilizes hygrometers to measure humidity levels and considers both the square footage of your home and the readings to recommend the best size, make, and model of dehumidifier for your specific needs.
