The Essential Need for a Dehumidifier System

When to Choose a Dehumidifier
The Houston air is hot and steamy for most of the year. While many homes don’t need dehumidifiers at all times, some customers choose this system for year-round protection. We recommend using a dehumidifier when you notice any of the following:
- Visible mildew and mold.
- Water stains on walls or ceilings.
- A musty smell.
- Rotting wood anywhere in the home.
- Increase of colds or severe allergies.
- Clammy or stuffy rooms.
- Pest infestation in the home.
- Condensation on the interior side of windows.
- Warping wood floors or furniture.

High Humidity Areas in Your Home
Certain areas in homes are more susceptible to high humidity levels. Basements are particularly prone to dampness and high humidity, and a dehumidifier can protect against mildew, mold, and pests. Bathrooms also tend to be humid due to steam from hot baths and showers. We recommend dehumidifiers in bathrooms, along with proper ventilation to carry moist air outside, preventing mold and mildew growth.
Whole Home Dehumidifier vs. Portable Dehumidifier
Our seasoned service professionals will help determine the best type of dehumidifier to enhance your home's indoor air quality. Small portable dehumidifiers can lead to frequent basin emptying, whereas dehumidifiers that are too large for the space waste energy. After assessing your requirements, we can suggest either multiple portable dehumidifiers or a whole home dehumidifier. We recommend a whole home dehumidifier if you live in a humid environment or need an automated system.
How to Choose a Dehumidifier Size
Selecting an appropriate dehumidifier size for your home is crucial. We consider your home's relative humidity and room sizes. A dehumidifier unit’s size is measured by how much moisture it can extract from the air daily. We will evaluate your home's humidity using a hygrometer and consider this alongside your home's square footage to recommend the best dehumidifier for your needs.
Energy Consumption of Dehumidifiers
Customers often inquire about dehumidifiers' energy usage. While a small 30-pint dehumidifier consumes 300W of energy, a larger 70-pint model uses 700W of energy, less than an average hair dryer. Most of the dehumidifier's energy is used to compress the refrigerant gas.
