Control Sticky Indoor Air During Maryland’s Humid Months
A whole home dehumidifier does a whole lot more than make your indoor air feel less sticky. High levels of humidity (the level of invisible moisture/water vapor present in the air) impact how comfortable and livable your entire home feels. Even when your air conditioner is running without a problem, humidity can battle any attempt your unit is making to keep your home cool and comfortable.
Luckily for Maryland locals, Cool Breeze Heating & Air Conditioning provides whole home dehumidifier installation in Reisterstown, MD, helping homeowners control the indoor air moisture levels of their entire home. Our 100% women-owned HVAC company has been serving Maryland homeowners since 1999, helping locals from Owings Mills to Glyndon decide whether this type of indoor air quality upgrade is the right fit for them.
Benefits of Installing a Whole Home Dehumidifier
Dehumidifiers sop up the extra moisture in the air as it moves through your HVAC system. It works with your home’s ductwork system, impacting the humidity levels of your entire home, not just one room or another.
There are a number of benefits of whole home dehumidifier installation in Reisterstown, MD, including:
- A More Comfortable Home During Summer Months: Setting your AC to a comfortable temperature, only for the air to remain sticky, heavy, or damp, is a very common summertime experience. Dehumidifiers pull humid air into the system and remove the excess moisture, keeping things cool without constantly lowering the number on your air conditioner unit.
- Less Strain on Your AC: Especially humid summer days push the AC system to its limits, making it prone to excess water inside the unit. Dehumidifiers collect that extra moisture on their cold coils, draining it away instead of keeping it in the air.
- Moisture Control for Basements/Lower Levels: Basements and other nooks and crannies in the lower levels of your home are no strangers to musty smells, clammy-feeling air, and a dampness that doesn’t seem to go away.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Humidity control is one of the key tenets of our indoor air quality services. Too much moisture inside your home contributes to serious problems, from dust mites, musty smells, and stale indoor air. Dehumidifiers pass air through filters, trapping dust and particles before recirculating the air.
- Whole-Home Solutions Instead of Room-by-Room Management: While portable dehumidifier units can help out in small areas, they need to be emptied, moved around, cleaned, and monitored. Plus, they only treat the room/area where they’re placed. Whole home dehumidifiers are more convenient and built into the HVAC setup. They pull humid air into the system, remove moisture, drain the collected water, and send out drier air back throughout the home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What indoor humidity level is too high for a home?
Most homes feel best when the humidity levels stay around 30-50%. But once indoor moisture levels exceed 60%, your home will start to feel sticky, heavy, and generally uncomfortable. If your home still feels damp when the AC runs, it’s time to ask about a whole home dehumidifier in Reisterstown, MD.
What’s the difference between a whole-home dehumidifier and a portable basement unit?
A portable dehumidifier is an affordable, simple-to-use indoor air quality solution. They work great in single rooms (like basements or laundry rooms), and with no installation process required, homeowners might be tempted to turn to them when their homes feel stuffy and stale. Whole home dehumidifiers provide consistent humidity control, and despite the in-depth installation requirements, they require much less day-to-day attention than portable units.
