As the summer approaches, the air in your home can start to feel damp and sticky. A dehumidifier can be the answer to reducing the moisture in your home’s air. The benefits of a dehumidifier includes making your humidity levels just right during the summer time, as too little or too much humidity can both bare their own issues. Dehumidifiers also can get rid of dust mites, prevents mold growth and can help aid other cooling systems such as ceiling or stand-up fans in your household.

As stated, dehumidifiers are made to help make the air in your house less damp and sticky, but it is important to know the type of levels to have your dehumidifier at. Having a dehumidifier that takes out all the moisture in the air can be just as problematic. The ideal setting for your dehumidifier should be around 50%. Usually 50% is a solid consensus, but higher temperatures can still activate mold growth so going as high as 60% is sometimes a viable option.

Mold growth is an issue caused by raised humidity levels, and it can cause issues such as damage to your furniture or wood placement around your house. Dehumidifiers combat this problem with the reduction in condensation, disallowing condensation to form when cooling the air. Also, a dehumidifier helps reduce costs due to using less energy of your cooling systems. Dehumidifiers use significantly less energy than an air conditioning unit, thus being an excellent cost-efficient option.
