Indoor Air Quality

What is a Dehumidifier?

Dehumidifiers are electric-powered appliances that reduce the level of humidity in the air in a home and help manage levels for health or comfort reasons. Dehumidifiers also help eliminate musty odors and prevent mildew growth. They work by extracting moisture from the air. Dehumidifiers can be used in homes and in businesses.

They work by extracting water from air as it passes through the unit. There are two types of dehumidifiers. There are desiccant dehumidifiers and condensate dehumidifiers.

Condensate dehumidifiers use a refrigerator to collect water while desiccant dehumidifiers (also known as absorption dehumidifiers) bond moisture with hydrophilic materials like silica gel.

The best dehumidifiers on the market, or the highest rated dehumidifiers, are made by Aprilaire. Aprilaire dehumidifiers were also recognized as ENERGY STAR Most Efficient for 2021. Beavercreek Heating & Cooling offers dehumidifiers by Aprilaire, including their 1800 series, 100 series and crawlspace dehumidifier.

FAQ

General Dehumidifier FAQ

How long do whole house dehumidifiers last?

Typically, whole house dehumidifiers can last up to 10 years with proper maintenance and usage. Depending on the type of device you have, the environment it is running in, as well as other factors, this number can be even higher. A quality dehumidifier that receives regular filter cleaning and has its coils inspected every year should easily be good for many years.

How big should my dehumidifier be?

In order to find out how big your dehumidifier needs to be, you’ll need to consider a few important factors. First, you should think about the size of the space that needs to be dehumidified. If it’s a small room, such as a bedroom or bathroom, then you can get away with a smaller. Dehumidifier capacities are rated by the amount of moisture they effectively remove in 24 hours.

Can one dehumidifier do a whole house?

It depends on the size of your house and humidity levels. Generally, one dehumidifier is not enough to cover a whole house. The size and capacity of the dehumidifier should be chosen based on the square footage of your room, as well as the level of humidity in your home. The larger and more humid your space is, the higher-capacity dehumidifier you’ll need for coverage. One option could be to use a system with multiple smaller units spread throughout the house for balanced moisture control. Additionally, using an exhaust fan can help remove excess moisture from some rooms in order to improve air quality and reduce humidity levels overall.
