The unit is incorporated right into the existing cooling system and pulls extra moisture out of the air as it passes through
When I moved down south, I was anxious to get away from the northern winters. I’d had my fill of sub zero temperatures, endless snowfall and relying on the furnace for more than half the year. I was tired of plowing, shoveling and scraping and looked forward to blue skies and sunshine. I was prepared for the heat. I’d researched the average high and low temperature for each month. I knew air conditioning would be a necessity. I planned on running the cooling system just about non stop. I wasn’t aware of how big of a problem the humidity would be. The excessive amount of moisture in the air makes everything feel sticky and overheated. Lowering the thermostat just made the air conditioner work harder. Even when my house felt downright chilly, there was still an abundance of moisture. I dealt with condensation running down the window panes, mold growth and mildew on leather furniture, purses, shoes and even books. I wasn’t sure what to do about it. I was spending a fortune on the monthly electric bills and the house didn’t feel comfortable. I tried portable dehumidifiers but they didn’t help very much. I needed to constantly empty the reservoir. I finally got in contact with a local HVAC company and explained the situation. The technician suggested I install a whole-house dehumidifier. The unit is incorporated right into the existing cooling system and pulls extra moisture out of the air as it passes through. It makes an improvement to comfort and air quality in every single room.
