"It's not so much about the heat; it's the humidity."


When it's muggy outside, it's muggy inside. You can see, smell and feel excess humidity ... it's a miserable feeling.


Effects of high humidity in your home include:

 

  • Indoor condensation appears on windows, mirrors and cold drinks
  • Your house becomes a breeding ground for insects
  • Wood floors, trim and wood furniture warp or rot
  • You experience uncomfortable sweating at normal indoor temperatures
  • Skin feels sticky in summer/clammy in winter
  • Rooms smell musty

 

High Humidity Can Cause Health Problems

Without a dehumidifier, excess moisture can cause:

 

  • Mold and mildew to grow
  • Dust mites to thrive

 

These contaminants can trigger asthma, allergies and other ailments.

"As many as 10 percent of the general population and 90 percent of people with allergic asthma are sensitive to dust mites. Recent studies in the United States suggest that at least 45 percent of young people with asthma are allergic to dust mites."
-American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
