The home is more comfortable & I spend my money less in monthly monthly bills
The heat & humidity in Tuscaloosa, AL, is a problem for the majority of the year, but hot & moist conditions are the ideal breeding ground for bacteria, mold & mildew, dust mites & cockroaches thrive. Health complications include headaches, sneezing, coughing, sore throat, itchy eyes & exasperated symptoms of asthma & dust irritations; There are complications with musty smells & detriment to wood furnishings; I observed condensate running down my window pains, discoloring the sills & leading to mildew. I found mold growing on my leather shoes & purses & had complications with wooden doors not closing respectfully. I lowered the control device & ran the air conditioning device non stop. It added to the wear & tear on the cooling system. The increased energy usage added up to much higher electric bills… Unluckyly, I didn’t solve the problem. Over-cooling the home didn’t get rid of the moisture. I purchased a portable dehumidifier, however it simply created a lot of work. If I failed to empty the reservoir several ties per afternoon, the resting water smelled unpleasant & presented a health concern. I finally contacted a local Tuscaloosa HVAC business for a recommendation. She advised that I install a whole-home dehumidifier. The dehumidifier pulls water out of the air as it passes through the air conditioning unit, and when the humidity level is kept within an ideal range, the air feels cooler at a higher control device setting. The home is more comfortable & I spend my money less in monthly monthly bills. I sleep better at night & have more energy during the afternoon. The dehumidifier runs quietly & requires only annual service.
