Improve Your Home Comfort With a Dehumidifier
Whole house dehumidifiers are powerful, high-capacity dehumidifiers that attach to your existing central air HVAC system, helping remove excess moisture from the air throughout the property. They’re a good alternative to large-capacity portable units, being able to remove a high volume of moisture from the air without requiring frequent maintenance.
Standalone units typically have a capacity of just a few liters. If you have a large living room, you may find yourself having to empty the dehumidifier every day, so a unit with a drainage pump could save a lot of time.
Investing in a whole-house dehumidifier can bring several benefits:
- Increased comfort at home
- Low maintenance compared to standalone dehumidifiers
- Improved energy efficiency
- Prolong the life of your air conditioning
Suppose you’re considering investing in a whole-house dehumidifier. In that case, it’s important to select one powerful enough to cover the area of your property, but that won’t dry the room out too much. The moisture removal capabilities and coverage of domestic dehumidifiers can vary significantly.
Many systems have sensors, so they’ll trigger when the humidity reaches a specific level, and deactivate when the desired level of humidity is reached. This helps reduce energy usage and wear and tear on the unit, while still ensuring maximum performance for
Our skilled HVAC engineers can advise you on the most suitable dehumidifiers for your home based on your airflow requirements, the size of the house, and the type of drainage required. For example, some dehumidifiers have a pump to drain water away from the property, while others use gravity for drainage.
Gravity drainage is suitable for humidifiers installed close to a suitable drain, but if the unit is going to be located in a crawlspace or somewhere else where drainage isn’t easy, a condensate pump may be required to collect and remove the water, preventing mold, mildew and musty odors.
