Problems That High Humidity Can Cause
The main trouble with high humidity levels (60% relative humidity and above) is that it makes it more difficult for the human body to release heat through perspiration. With more heat trapped in the body, the temperature of the air feels hotter than it is, often making an 8–10°F difference. So not only does high humidity mean that people in your household will feel less comfortable during warm weather, but also that you’ll need to keep the air conditioner running more frequently. With humidity balanced, you can expect to pay around 30% less during the summer on air conditioning bills.
High humidity can also create water damage, leading to warped wood and peeling paint. The moisture levels supply a breeding ground for mildew and mold, which will cause additional damage to building materials and also have an unhealthy effect on indoor air quality.
How Dehumidifiers Can Balance Indoor Humidity Levels
A whole–house dehumidifier works similarly to an air conditioner. ACs actually have some dehumidifying properties, since they absorb moisture along with thermal energy as they work. However, air conditioners are not designed as dehumidifiers. It takes a dedicated device to do the job right.
The standard whole–house dehumidifier consists of a refrigerant coil that cycles cold refrigerant to cause evaporation. The evaporation draws moisture from the air, along with heat. The excess moisture is siphoned away into the wastewater system. To prevent the cooling of the air from affecting the rest of the HVAC system, the dehumidifier will reheat the air afterward.
