The benefits of a properly humidified environment are many. They include personal
comfort as well as the preservation of furniture, draperies, carpets, wooden floors
and cabinets, paintings, pianos, etc� Higher humidity levels can also increase the
growth-rate of mold, bacteria, viruses, and even dust mites in the home� Your
home can be more comfortable at a warmer temperature with drier air than without
controlling humidity during the humid summer months� Since every degree of
temperature change represents about 3% to 5% of the total cooling costs, each
degree warmer you can set the thermostat can represent a significant annual
savings�
During the cooling season, warm, moist air infiltrates the home and must be cooled.
When cooled, this air can still be humid as air conditioners are designed to cool the
air, not dehumidify the air. A small amount of dehumidification may be a benefit of
air conditioners, but they actually work harder and longer to cool the air when the
air is moist. Only by using a whole house dehumidifier to reduce the humidity in the
entire home's air, can a balance between humidity levels, temperature, comfort,
and energy costs be optimized�
