A whole house dehumidifier will make summer more comfortable and you will probably use it well into the fall. A dehumidifier can be used to control air quality year-round, if necessary. While Massachusetts winters are cold and snowy, summers are hot and humid. Spring and fall rains can elevate the humidity level in your home as well.
The air conditioning system will control the temperature but not the humidity level. The relative humidity of your home should be between 30 and 50 percent, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The assures better air quality and helps to control airborne pollutants such as mold and other allergens.
Comfort and Protection
A humid environment can cause perspiration even in cooler weather. It is the buildup of moisture in a room that can lead to sweating. This is common in kitchens and bathrooms.
Mold, mildew, bacteria and dust love humidity. Bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens provide growing areas for various types of mold. Mold can also form in other areas of your home on ceilings, window sills and in closets.
The mold and mildew spores spread and even attract viruses and bacteria that grow in a humid environment. Homes are often over-heated in winter and the warm, stuffy environment can encourage the growth and spread of airborne viruses. A dehumidifier will help to prevent this during the cooler months.
A whole house dehumidifier will reach into corners to prevent unpleasant odors along with mold. It will prevent condensation on bathroom walls and ceilings. A whole house dehumidifier is easily installed and integrated into your HVAC system. The size and type of dehumidifier will depend on the size of your home.
