Dehumidifiers
There are a lot of things to keep track of when attempting to maintain a comfortable and safe indoor living environment, including your home heating and cooling systems. Without the right indoor air quality products, these main systems won’t keep you comfortable all of the time.
Improper humidity is one problem that your home heating and cooling system cannot handle on its own and it can cause some serious complications if it’s not dealt with properly and promptly. Of course, you may not even know that there’s too much humidity in your indoor air. That’s why it’s a good idea to have a professional come in and take a look.

Problems with Excess Humidity
Humidity is something you probably associate with hot, sticky summer days. But indoor humidity can actually be a year–round problem and can cause real damage to your home while lowering the quality of your indoor air. The reasons for excess humidity problems are varied, but regardless of why you have this problem, it needs to be taken care of as soon as possible.
Humidity promotes the growth of mold in your home. But that doesn’t mean you will see the mold or even be aware that it’s there. Mold usually grows in dark, damp places and can often be hidden in the walls of your home. While this mold may be out of sight, it’s still doing damage to the wood structure of your home and it’s also releasing plenty of mold spores into your indoor air.
Dust mites, another major indoor air contaminant, thrive in humidity levels over 50%. The proliferation of these allergens can further degrade your indoor air.
Both of these contaminants can exacerbate the symptoms of allergies, asthma and colds and contribute to an overall drop in your indoor air quality. Of course, you can always have an indoor air cleaner installed to rid your home of these types of contaminants, and maybe you even have one in place already. But adding to their workload will only make it harder for them to do their job. Plus, air that is too humid makes it more difficult for indoor air cleaners to remove the contaminants they target.
Dehumidifier Options
There are several things to consider when choosing a dehumidifier for your home. First, you need one that is powerful enough to handle the workload and can effectively regulate humidity throughout your entire home. You also want a dehumidifier with a convenient drainage option. All dehumidifiers take water out of the air, so they need someplace to put that water.
Some dehumidifiers come with a catch basin that needs to be emptied on a regular basis, while others can be attached to a hose for constant drainage. A professional can help you determine which of these options is right for your home by measuring your humidity levels and evaluating the various location available for dehumidifier installation.

Ultra-Aire
Whole House Ventilating Dehumidification for Comfort, Health and Property Protection
Addressing comfort in the home is very important to your family’s quality of life. High humidity levels within your home can create health problems that are associated with poor indoor air quality.
According to experts, health problems associated with poor indoor air quality include eye irritation, allergies, headaches and respiratory problems, such as asthma. These problems can be directly related to the presence of mold, high volatile organic compound (VOC) levels and dust mite infestation in the home. The recognized solutions to addressing these health issues are moisture control and ventilation.
Controlling humidity inside the home is essential for whole home comfort, reducing health risks, and protecting the structure of the home and its contents. According to the Enviromental Protection Agency, for maximum comfort, indoor relative humidity (RH) should be maintained between 35% and 50%.
Maintaining proper humidity levels is also important in protecting a home and its contents. Excess moisture in the home can cause musty odors, be detrimental to wood floors, furniture, artwork, electronics, and even the overall structure of the home. It can also provide a breeding ground for cockroaches, termites, and other damaging pests.
Using an air conditioner to control humidity is inefficient and can result in creating an uncomfortable environment. Therefore, supplemental dehumidification is essential for proper humidity control.
Ultra-Aire Dehumidifiers help reduce the risk of serious health issues through filtration, fresh air ventilation, and controlling moisture levels in the home resulting in comfortable living all year.
