Benefits of a dehumidifier:
Improved air quality.
Removal of humidity and moisture.
Increased structural integrity by helping to prevent cupping floorboards and wood rot.
Reduces moisture that causes mold and mildew growth.
A more comfortable feeling indoors.
Removes a source of attraction for pests.
It can save energy.
Removes odors that can rise into the home.
Function:
A dehumidifier filters and circulates the air. It works to remove moisture and improve air quality. This helps to prevent mold and mildew growth while removing allergens that could rise into your home.
Not all dehumidifiers are made the same. It is important to install a heavy-duty crawl space grade dehumidifier. The dehumidifiers we install are all made in the USA with safe, reliable materials.
Maintenance:
The dehumidifier’s standard maintenance only requires the filter to be changed once every 6 months to a year. Even if you have a power outage, the Sante Fe units will automatically turn back on. Also, they regulate themselves using a sensor to manage moisture at an ideal level year-round.
*We offer annual and semi-annual maintenance and inspections for all our customers.
Energy Usage:
The dehumidifiers we install are energy efficient. They use less energy than a hair dryer! Also, they allow the air conditioning unit to operate more smoothly because of the reduced moisture levels.
We pair our dehumidifiers with a crawl space seal. This keeps the air ducts, and AC unit in a closed, humidity-regulated space. In the warmer months, we commonly see condensation on the air ducts. This excess moisture can cause mold growth, wood rot, and cupping floorboards. Contact us for a free inspection to receive a quote!
