One of the biggest challenges of my local weather is the humidity.
- While the heat is an issue just about year round, the high moisture levels make it much worse.
That sticky feeling is really unpleasant, but central air conditioners are designed to pull heat out of the air. They can’t handle excessive humidity. Lowering the control unit drops the indoor temperature but does not target moisture. Condensate running down windows, mold as well as mildew growth as well as musty stinks are all consequences of high humidity. It can aggravate symptoms of flu symptoms as well as asthma as well as cause headaches, congestion, fatigue as well as sleepiness. I went out as well as bought a portable dehumidifier, thinking that this would help the situation. The dehumidifier ran consistently as well as the reservoir was always full of water. I needed to empty it various times a day. If I forgot, the stagnant water created a source of contamination as well as became a detriment to indoor air pollen levels. I then consulted with a local Heating plus A/C company as well as l earned about whole-house dehumidifiers. This style of accessory installs right into the air conditioner as well as pulls moisture out of the air as it passes through the system. I’m able to customize humidity levels to preference. It only needs annual repair as well as operates quietly as well as efficiently. Having the dehumidifier has made a immense improvement in comfort. I’ve been able to raise the control unit setting by various degrees, reduce the workload of the air conditioner as well as trim my electricity bills as well as yet the lake house feels cooler. I’m less upset about damage to home furnishings as well as health risks caused by an overly moist environment. I expect the cooling plan to have fewer repair needs as well as last longer.
