Since I run my AC system so often, I have to be careful about my indoor air quality. It is commanded not to let your indoor air quality have a humidity level above 50%… This is especially strenuous in Tuscaloosa, AL. The reason is that the outdoor air is so moderate and wet. Then you use a cooling system that creates condensation with that heat. The water vaporizes and lingers in the house. Too much moisture causes a lot of problems, but wood furniture swells, bugs, insects, and roaches are welcomed in; Mold, mildew, and bacteria can entirely breed and spread; You also experience skin problems and more cold-like symptoms. I realized that living in Tuscaloosa meant I had to watch my humidity levels. I invested in a dehumidification system. It pairs right with my cooling equipment; As the AC starts up, so does the dehumidifier. It removes excess moisture in the air and creates a more balanced home. I never realized how much more effective my cooling system would be after removing humidity. I was able to lower the thermostat and save some energy. The condo feels colder separate from that wetness. It is more comfortable too. I wash less and experience less sick days. The only thing I need to do is keep on top of AC maintenance. I make sure my dehumidifier gets looked at. It can clog with algae and mold easily. It can stop altogether due to being too wet or rusted. It is a important part of my device that I need to keep in wonderful toiling order.
