Hot air is able to carry greater amounts of moisture than cooler air, so it’s common for homeowners to experience issues with humidity control as the temperatures begin to warm up. Ideally, this is limited to outside and homeowners are able to seek refuge from the humidity in their air-conditioned homes.

But that’s not always the case. Hot, humid air can sneak into the home through even the smallest openings, causing indoor comfort to decrease. When your air feels hot and muggy, it not only affects your comfort but also creates an environment where mold can thrive, and indoor air quality may suffer.

Installing a dehumidifier often begins with a thorough assessment of your home. Your technician may use a tool called a hygrometer to measure indoor humidity levels. 

From there, the dehumidifier will be installed directly into your HVAC system so it can treat air as it passes through. The system will be calibrated to ensure it removes just the right amount of moisture from your air, being sure to not remove too much and leaving you with dry air. 

Finally, it will be tested to ensure its seamless operation. Technicians conduct rigorous testing to confirm that the dehumidifier efficiently extracts excess moisture, achieving the desired humidity levels without compromising indoor air quality.
