The bigger, better air quality device is installed right into the air conditioner and pulls moisture out of the air as it passes through
High humidity causes a lot of problems. A moist environment encourages dust mites, cockroaches and mold growth. Bacteria and viruses thrive in high humidity which then creates concerns with indoor air quality. Contaminants become airborne, circulated by the air conditioner and breathed by occupants of the home. Headaches, sore throat, congestion, itchy eyes, sneezing and coughing can be blamed on high humidity. Symptoms of allergies, respiratory infection and asthma attacks are worsened. There can be significant damage to home furnishings such as antiques, musical instruments, hardwood floors, doors and molding. Anything wood tends to swell and warp in high moisture environments. Plus, excessive humidity makes the air feel hot and clammy. It can be tempting to lower the thermostat, which puts more work on the air conditioner. The cooling system uses more energy, experiences greater wear and tear and there’s an increased risk of malfunction. Higher utility bills are combined with inferior comfort. It can be difficult to sleep at night and feel energized during the day. While air conditioners pull heat out of the air and help to combat humidity, more powerful measures are often necessary. Living in the south, I decided to invest into a whole-house dehumidifier. I tried to achieve improvement with portable dehumidifiers and got nowhere. I had to constantly empty the reservoir and noticed little reward. The bigger, better air quality device is installed right into the air conditioner and pulls moisture out of the air as it passes through. I’m able to customize the level of the humidity to my family’s preference. We save on our energy bills and enjoy superior comfort and healthier air quality.
