DEHUMIDIFIERS
What is a Dehumidifier?
Dehumidifiers remove humidity from the air in a home or building. This is helpful during the summer for health and comfort reasons. Additionally, dehumidifiers help eliminate musty odors in the home or building in addition to preventing mold growth and mildew by extracting moisture from the air. Experts agree that managing home humidity levels promotes optimal health and well-being while also enhancing comfort. During the summer, this helps the A/C unit function at its best. In order to remove humidity, dehumidifiers remove moisture and water from your air supply. It does this while the air is passing through the system in one of two ways. The two main types of dehumidifiers are condensated dehumidifiers and desiccant dehumidifiers. Condensate dehumidifiers use refrigerants to remove the moisture, which it collects as water. However, desiccant dehumidifiers bond moisture with hydrophilic materials like silica gel to extract it from the air when it’s passing through. Some people refer to desiccant dehumidifiers as absorption dehumidifiers.

WHEN TO INSTALL A DEHUMIDIFIER
Do I need a dehumidifier for my home? Dehumidifiers remove moisture or humidity from the air in a home or building, which prevents mold, bacteria and dust mites from growing. Dehumidifiers can be used in your home, garage or office or basement to keep the air dry and under 50%. It is important to have a dehumidifier in your home during the summer because it prevents mold growth which can lead to respiratory problems. It’s also helpful for your central cooling system.
When should I begin the use of a dehumidifier? The ideal time to start using a dehumidifier in the home is when the days begin warming up and you start to feel or notice a rise in humidity. If a room feels damp, and/or smells musty, using a dehumidifier can help to restore the room to an ideal relative humidity level. If the walls feel damp or have moldy patches, a dehumidifier should be used often to restore relative humidity below 50%. Anytime the humidity goes above 50%, we suggest using a dehumidifier.
Dehumidifier FAQ
Are there dehumidifiers for a whole house?
In order for a dehumidifier to work properly for a whole house, it needs to be a whole-home dehumidifier sized for your specific space. It also must be installed by an HVAC expert or an air care expert. At Bridgetown Heating & Cooling we sell and install dehumidifiers that are able to work for large homes and we have smaller homes and offices. Our dehumidification experts can explain a wide range of options and special discounts we offer.
For how long does a whole-house dehumidifier operate?
If maintained properly by an expert like Bridgetown Heating & Cooling, most whole-home dehumidifiers are good for 5 to 10 years on average. They last longer when they are used according to manufacturer recommendations. To maintain your dehumidifier properly and get the maximum service life possible, you should replace the unit’s air filters regularly. You also need to clean the condensing coils and exhaust grilles and follow any other suggestions you were given when you purchased it. Dehumidifiers are simple devices that effectively reduce the moisture content of any atmosphere it is placed in.

How big does my dehumidifier need to be?
If you are using one unit for your home, as we noted above, you need a whole-house dehumidifier. Otherwise, a dehumidifier’s usage capacity is rated by the amount of moisture it removes during a 24-hour period. Therefore, a 35-pint humidifier is rated to remove 35 pints of moisture or water in a day. You can use a 30-pint dehumidifier (or a dehumidifier between 24- and 39-pint capacity) for rooms that are especially damp and between 500 and 1,500 square feet in size. If you have questions about what size of a dehumidifier you need for your home, our experts at Bridgetown Heating & Cooling can help you find the perfect unit for your home at the best price.
