Ill Effects of Excess Humidity

High-humidity areas make you feel hot even when the temperature is under ninety degrees. The humidity makes your body sweat and feel sticky, and generally uncomfortable.

Excess air moisture is also the perfect breeding ground for molds, mildew and dust mites. These in turn can cause allergies and other respiratory ailments for your home's occupants. Excess moisture leaves musty odors on your furniture and beddings. It causes corrosion in pans, kitchen utensils, metal components of appliances, and fixtures. It also stains and warps walls and ceilings.

You can lower the humidity level of your home by using an air conditioner. However, this would also cool your home unnecessarily. Air conditioners also consume a lot of electricity and wreak havoc on your electricity bill.

How a Dehumidifier Works

A dehumidifier draws moisture from the air by cooling it and then condensing it. The condensed water is either allowed to drip out through a drain or is collected in a container.

Your air-conditioner indirectly acts as a dehumidifier but with one difference - it cools the air as well as take out the moisture.

There are whole house as well as portable dehumidifiers available. Some modern dehumidifiers work together with your heating or cooling system to adjust the indoor air quality and temperature. Dehumidifiers are generally more expensive than air conditioners but consume less electricity.
