It's Not the Heat; It's the Humidity!
You know when there is too much moisture in your home. You may feel it in the form of sweat or clamminess. You may smell it in the form of mustiness. You may see it in the form of mold and mildew. Too much humidity in your home is not just unpleasant, it can also affect your family's health, your energy usage, and your home's structure.
Too much moisture provides a breeding ground for mold and insects. Mold can activate allergy and asthma symptoms which can range from minor irritations to major breathing problems. Insects, also, are attracted to places with a high moisture content. Dust mites are a major allergy and asthma trigger. They flourish in environments where the relative humidity is over 50%. High humidity can also damage wood floors and trim. It can get trapped in carpeting, furniture, and window coverings. Too much humidity will cause you to feel warm, so you will run your air conditioner and over-cool your house in an attempt to alleviate the problem.
A whole-house dehumidifier can be installed as part of your air conditioning and heating system. This will automatically remove the moisture from every room in your house. Getting rid of the excess moisture can reduce dust mites and mold, musty odors, and that clammy feeling. Your home's structure will be protected, and you will find that you can run the air conditioner a few degrees higher because you'll feel cooler.
