How to Tell If Your Home Needs a Dehumidifier

Humidifiers help reduce high humidity levels inside homes, which makes them especially important now that summer is rolling in. But does your home actually need one? ACS Air Conditioning Systems, the trusted gas heater and central air conditioning company, shares how you can tell here.

A hot, unpleasant feeling inside your home. The last thing you want to do this summer is spend time in a hot, muggy home. Turning up your cooling system isn’t the best solution, however. In addition to causing your air conditioner to work overtime, this can also increase your energy costs significantly. The smarter way is to reduce excessive moisture–the primary reason for the uncomfortable feeling inside your home–with a dehumidifier.

Mold and mildew spots on walls and ceiling corners. When warm, moist air can’t exit your home, mold and mildew may develop in some rooms. These are typically found in areas that use a large amount of water, such as the bathroom or laundry room. Given how mold and mildew exposure can trigger allergic reactions and lead to a number of health risks, you’ll want to promptly deal with high humidity levels inside your home. Just turn to ACS Air Conditioning Systems.

Window and door condensation. When air becomes saturated with excessive humidity, it can lead to condensation on windows and doors. When overlooked, the ‘sweat’ on the glass can drip onto the window or door material, causing unsightly stains and encouraging rot–especially if the material is wood.
