When humidity is consistently higher than this ideal range your personal comfort is not the only thing at risk. High humidity lends itself to the growth of allergens such as dust mites. Dust mites thrive in environments with high humidity, so keeping your humidity in the ideal range will eliminate this nuisance.

While an air cleaners or filters can remove allergens such as dust mites from the air, high humidity can also inhibit the ability of air purification systems to function properly. The same is true of your home cooling system. Excessive humidity makes it more difficult for your air conditioner to function properly and can result in clammy, uncomfortable air.

Dehumidifier Drainage

Keep in mind that your dehumidifier is, in fact, drawing moisture out the air in your home. That excess water has to wind up somewhere. Many models have a collection tank to catch this water, and the tank will need to be emptied periodically. Make sure that your dehumidifier collection tank is an appropriate size for you and its location in your home. You don’t want to be emptying it too frequently, but you should be able to access it easily and carry it comfortably when it is full.

Additionally, some models have a drainage system that will allow constant drainage from the dehumidifier. This is a good option to consider if your system is going to be place in a difficult to access area in your Cleveland home. Be sure to talk to your indoor air quality service technician at Pompeii’s Plumbing & Heating to ensure that you’re getting the most out of your dehumidifier.
