Most people know that excessive humidity can make them feel even hotter during the summer. It comes as no surprise, then, that humidity has a major impact on the effectiveness of air conditioning systems. What people dont often realize is that humidity has an effect on heating systems as well. When the humidity in your home or building is too high or too low, achieving optimal indoor comfort is easier said than done. Todays best HVAC systems include humidifiers and dehumidifiers that keep relative humidity levels in check. A licensed HVAC contractor will be able to provide you with information on adding a dehumidifier to your current AC system or if you are going to replace your current system, it is well worth the small investment to make sure you new HVAC system has a dehumidifier installed. Dehumidifiers The single best way to contend with humidity when trying to cool a home or building is having a dehumidifier installed on your HVAC system. This simple appliance will pull moisture from the air before it is forced through the ducts in your home, office or business. Dehumidifiers can be paired with air conditioning systems, which allows you to adjust the temperature and humidity level in one fell swoop. When humidity levels are kept in check inside during the summer, air conditioners are able to do their jobs much more effectively with less of a load. You will notice that you feel cooler and more refreshed under these conditions. As an added bonus, you should notice a nice drop in your energy bill. Thats because your air conditioner wont have to work as hard, but it will still be able to cool your home properly. Issues like foggy windows, sticky feeling, musty odors and moist, clammy air should be eliminated as well. We hope this was helpful!!
