Can a Dehumidifier Help You This Summer?

Monday, April 8th, 2019

We’ve heard it 1000 times: “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity”. And as cliché as this phrase is, it’s true. Humidity levels during the summer can make it feel as though the temperature outside is much hotter than it actually is. This is because high moisture content in the air makes it much harder for our bodies to sweat, thus making it difficult to cool off. So when this happens, of course, the first thing we want to do is seek relief in the comfort of our homes. So what do you do if the inside of your home is humid as well?

High humidity inside of your home can have a profound effect on your overall comfort and energy efficiency, so it is important to address it. Installing a dehumidifier can help mitigate the effects of high humidity, protecting your furnishings, your health, and your HVAC system in Crozet, VA. In case you are not yet convinced, we’ve outlined just some of the many benefits of installing a dehumidifier below. Keep reading to find out more!
