When folks hear the term “indoor air quality,” they often think about the temperature of their living space. This is certainly part of good indoor air quality, but not all of it! If you’ve lived in this area for even just a year, you know that humidity is a problem. Your air conditioner does have some dehumidification properties, but not enough to truly make a difference.
A whole-house dehumidifier, however, can successfully remove excess moisture from the air, benefiting your comfort and the air conditioner itself. Read on as we uncover the problems associated with high humidity, and how a professionally installed dehumidifier will help.
If you’re at all familiar with air conditioning maintenance schedules, which we hope you are if you’ve had a cooling system for at least a year, then you know that the typical schedule we recommend is that you have a tune-up each year. The reason for this is that the system needs annual cleaning and adjusting, as well as an inspection to check for repair needs.
