There are many benefits to dehumidifiers, and here the Oliver experts explain each of them in a bit more detail.
Whole House Dehumidifiers Improve Your Health
Excess moisture in your home can increase dust mite and bacteria growth. It also promotes the growth of mold and mildew. This can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. At the same time, it also increases the chance you or your family will catch colds or the flu. A dehumidifier, such as the Aprilaire system, helps purify the air, as well as reduce moisture, to combat these issues.
Maintains Comfort and Eliminates Odors
One of the first signs of dampness in your home is a clammy or musty smell. Odors often cling to hard-to-wash soft surfaces such as the carpet, curtains, and furniture. This can make it impossible to get rid of the smell without getting rid of what’s causing them to begin with – humidity. A dehumidifier helps rid your home of the excess moisture and musty air. This not only improves the smell; it also makes it your home a more comfortable place to live.
Provides Extra Protection
Humidity can cause damage to your home and unfortunately, it’s often hidden damage. You don’t realize the damage has been done until it has turned into a massive – and costly – problem. Possible issues include mold and mildew growth, termite infestations, and structural damage.
Improves Energy Efficiency
A dehumidifier can also help improve your utility costs. When excess moisture and humidity is removed from the air, your home won’t feel as clammy or stuffy. This way, you’ll feel cooler even when your thermostat is set to a higher temperature. As you run your air conditioner less frequently, you’ll also save on energy bills.
Has a Quiet and Convenient Operation
Sold on needing a dehumidifier, but hesitant about getting a whole home dehumidifier system? While you may think it’s simpler to just put a small one in a particular room, the whole house system is much more efficient. Plus, there are no water trays to empty, making them easier to use. The Aprilaire dehumidifier is one of the quietest systems on the market, making it a better option for peace and quiet in your home.
