Do you own a small one-room dehumidifier? If you do, the reasons for running it are essential to you. Most homeowners use a dehumidifier to eliminate the dampness and musty smell of a basement. A home dehumidification system has that and many other benefits of controlling the humidity in your home with minimal maintenance.
Mold grows best in humid places. Having a dehumidifier lowers the moisture in the air and thus decreases the chance for mold. A dehumidifier also reduces the amount of dust in your home, so you clean less.
Humidity isn’t good for Asthma suffers in Lincoln or anywhere!And if you have allergies, many triggers (mold, dust mites, mildew, pollen) increase with moisture in the air. Lowering the humidity in your home makes the atmosphere less hospitable to the irritants that cause allergies and may bring on an asthma attack.
A dehumidifier takes the water out of the air which helps the air conditioner run better in the humid summer months. The Air Conditioner doesn’t work as hard to reach the desired temperature, which translates into saving money on energy costs. Another cost savings for your energy bills is the dehumidifier allows the thermostat to be set 3 degrees higher to receive the same comfort level.
A less humid environment also means items like bread, cereal, cookies, and crackers stay fresh longer without getting stale. You throw out less and keep more food longer.
