During a typical summer the air can be hot and muggy outside, which can mean excess moisture inside. Excessive indoor humidity is not just uncomfortable, it can lead to unhealthy mold, musty odors and condensation that can damage wood surfaces and paint. In today's tight, well insulated homes, excess moisture can make your air conditioner work harder to keep the air cool and dry. A dehumidifier can be an effective solution to keep the air dryer.
How does a dehumidifier work?
As warm, humid air is blown across a cold coil by a fan, moisture condenses into liquid, which can be removed through a drain pipe. The dry air then passes over a warm coil and is added back into the room. Dehumidifiers are controlled by an instrument called a dehumidistat, which turns the unit on and off depending on the amount of moisture detected in the air. The level of moisture is controlled by a dehumidistat, which turns the unit on and off. A dehumidifier's capacity is measured in pints of water removed every 24 hours.
Carrier Whole Home Dehumidifiers
A whole-house dehumidifier is designed to work in conjunction with your home's heating and air conditioning system by monitoring and controlling the level of humidity. It operates quietly and is easily maintained by cleaning a filter. Have questions about controlling excess humidity in your home? Call ABC Plumbing we're here to help.
