Four Signs You Need a Dehumidifier
Too much humidity in your home can manifest itself in many ways. If you detect any of the following, a dehumidifier can help resolve the issue and improve your indoor air quality.
- Moldy/musty odors: Excess humidity in the home can facilitate mold/mildew growth. This can occur anywhere in the home but is most common in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.
- Rotting wood and/or damaged furniture: Excessive humidity can damage wood railings, trim, etc., as well as fabrics, including couches, curtains, etc.
- Condensation buildup: Too much indoor humidity can cause condensation to form on windows, counters, walls, etc.
- Allergies and breathing problems: High indoor humidity levels can trigger some allergy symptoms and breathing conditions, including asthma and COPD.

FAQs
Can dehumidifiers help prevent mold?
The right dehumidifier can help protect your home against mold proliferation by maintaining optimal humidity. For most homes, this means maintaining relative humidity levels between 30-60%.
Will a dehumidifier make colds worse?
Dehumidifiers remove excess humidity and reduce allergens in the air. They can help protect against nasal irritation and infection. However, in cases such as pneumonia, removing too much humidity can exacerbate the symptoms you experience.
How do you maintain a whole-home dehumidifier?
Maintenance is simple for most whole-home dehumidifiers and entails cleaning/replacing the air filter, clearing and cleaning the condensate drain line, and cleaning the water collection reservoir.
