The Benefits of Using a Dehumidifier This Summer

The moisture levels in your home will spike frequently when the hot, humid days of the summer season arrive. This could make your indoor air feel sticky or unpleasant. Luckily, leading HVAC company Amber Air Conditioning has the perfect answer: buy a dehumidifier. Having a well-designed dehumidifier in your living space can aid significantly in reducing the amount of humidity in the air, making your home feel more comfortable.

Here are the benefits of running a dehumidifier in your home this summer:

Cleaner indoor air. If you notice your indoor air is overly muggy, particularly in the summer, then dirty, moist air is most likely leaking into your home. The process of dehumidifying the air will help you clean it of unwanted particulates and pollen.


Less mold growth. High levels of humidity tend to lead to the growth of mold and mildew. Patches of mold on your walls or ceilings are not only unsightly, but they can trigger allergies, asthma and other respiratory complications as well. You can reduce the chances of health issues by letting a veteran air conditioning company install a whole-house dehumidifier in your home. 

Lower energy costs. Excessive moisture can make your home feel hotter than it really is. This may push you to turn your thermostat up, which will increase your energy consumption. If you have a functioning dehumidifier at home, then you likely won’t need to worry about increased energy consumption and costs in the future.

Reduced condensation. High moisture content in the air increases condensation on various interior components, like walls and windows. Not only can condensation lead to the spread of mold, it will also damage wooden doors, windows and decking. While running a high-quality air conditioner will help keep humidity levels controlled to an extent, you really need a dehumidifier to fully protect your home from compromising moisture issues.
