The summers in my local area are harshly long, sizzling and humid.
Both of us run the air conditioner for approximately 10 months out of the year.
While the air conditioner keeps the house cool and helps with humidity, it’s not designed to combat the excessive moisture. Both of us have problems with condensate running down the windows and mold growth on the sills. Leather furniture, shoes and clothing are often covered in mildew. There is the concern that wood floors, antiques, moldings, doors and furnishing could swell and warp. Moist environments are ideal for dust mites, centipedes, cockroaches, bacteria and viruses. Air quality suffers. Complaints with frequent sneezing and coughing, headaches, sore throat, itchy eyes, insomnia, congestion, respiratory infection and upset symptoms of asthma and dust irritations are often caused by high humidity. Plus, overly humid air tends to think sizzling and sticky. These problems lead to lower control component settings, which puts greater strain on the air conditioner. The cooling plan is required to run longer and work harder. It experiences greater wear and tear and is more prone to malfunction and premature failure. It uses more energy, causing higher electric bills. And the house simply isn’t as comfortable. The ideal solution is the upgrade of a whole-beach house dehumidifier. I tried the less fancy, portable dehumidifiers and found them more work then they were worth. I continually needed to empty the reservoir and didn’t notice much improvement. The whole-beach house choice installed right into the air conditioner and pulls moisture out of the air as it passes through. It maintains optimum humidity levels in every room. It has made a immense improvement to comfort and saves me currency on my utility bills.
