The heat in addition to humidity in Tuscaloosa, AL, is a concern for the majority of the year, however hot in addition to moist conditions are the ideal breeding ground for bacteria, mold in addition to mildew! Dust mites in addition to cockroaches thrive.

I found mold growing on my leather shoes in addition to wallets in addition to had complications with wooden doors not closing always. I lowered the control unit in addition to ran the a/c non stop. It added to the wear in addition to tear on the cooling system. The increased energy usage added up to much higher electric bills; Unblessedly, I didn’t solve the problem; Over-cooling the house didn’t get rid of the moisture. I obtained a portable dehumidifier, however it simply created a lot of work. If I failed to empty the reservoir multiple ties per day, the sitting water smelled unpleasant in addition to presented a health concern. I finally contacted a local Tuscaloosa Heating in addition to A/C company for a recommendation. He advocated that I install a whole-property dehumidifier. The dehumidifier pulls water out of the air as it passes through the a/c; When the humidity level is kept within an ideal range, the air feels cooler at a higher control unit setting. The house is more comfortable in addition to I pay less in daily energy bills. I sleep better at evening in addition to have more energy during the day. The dehumidifier runs quietly in addition to requires only annual maintenance.
