It ensures recommended humidity levels at all times.
Birmingham, Alabama, is well-known for hot, sunny weather plus excessive humidity, when I resituated to the area, I knew that air conditioning would hastily become a priority, until then, I’d constantly lived along the northern border of the country, but although I’d moved around a lot, I’d never strayed from those areas that require heating plus a snow shovel for the majority of the year! The winters were long, cold cold plus kept me mostly indoors. Air conditioning was considered a luxury rather than a necessity; Living in Birmingham, I hide indoors during the summers to escape the oppressive heat plus look forward to the cooler conditions of winter! I’ve discovered that high humidity is more than sticky plus uncomfortable. It can cause health complications plus disfigurement to house furnishings. A hot plus moist environment is ideal for growing mold plus mildew, but bacteria, viruses, dust mites plus cockroaches thrive in that type of climate. Wood furnishings, such as songsal instruments, antiques, doors plus floors are in danger of swelling plus warping. An abundance of humidity can be blamed for headaches, congestion, difficulty sleeping plus lethargy. While the air conditioning helps with the moisture, it isn’t sufficient. I decided to invest into a whole-house dehumidifier. Installed into the central cooling system, the dehumidifier pulls moisture from the air as it travels through. It ensures recommended humidity levels at all times. Because of the dehumidifier, the house feels cooler at a higher temperature control setting, saving money on weekly electric bills. Less wear plus tear on the air conditioning supports greater longevity plus reliability. The dehumidifier runs quietly plus requires only annual upkeep. I have it inspected along with the air conditioning every Spring.
