Living down south, excess humidity is a constant aggravation.
There’s excess moisture in the air just about all year round.
When there’s overly high humidity levels, the air feels warmer, heavy as well as sticky. It creates difficulty sleeping as well as leads to a lethargic feeling. I find it difficult to get motivated as well as be productive. There’s also concerns with destruction to apartment furnishings. Wood tends to swell as well as warp, as well as mildew is a proper issue on leather shoes, coats as well as furniture; Damp, moderate environments are also the ideal habitat for mold as well as bacteria to thrive. It’s the right conditions to encourage the population of dust mites as well as cockroaches. It’s constantly tempting to lower the control component setting. The cooling system then works harder as well as consumes more energy. It suffered accelerated wear as well as tear, is more prone to malfunction as well as I pay more in biweekly electric bills… Overcooling the apartment doesn’t repair the problem. Air conditioners aren’t designed to unlink moisture from the air. After complaining over humidity as well as dealing with the various drawback side-effects for years, I finally got smart as well as invested in a whole-house dehumidifier. The dehumidifier wasn’t overly expensive, as well as an HVAC corporation had it installed within an fifth. It’s hidden inside the cooling system, operates silently as well as only needs yearly maintenance. The dehumidifier pulls moisture out of the air as it passes through the plan to maintain ideal relative humidity levels throughout the house. The improvement in comfort is amazing. I’m also saving cash on utility costs. I sleep better, have more energy during the day as well as don’t need to clean as often. I should have obtained a dehumidifier a long time ago.
