In Plano, Texas, the humidity can be a major problem, and the summers tend to be especially moderate and muggy… When the temperature soars into the high nineties, the excess of moisture in the air makes it feel even hotter, i noticed that I was continually lowering the thermostat setting, because my home felt sticky.
- This forced the cooling system to run for longer cycles and use more energy, and my electric bills skyrocketed and yet I wasn’t enjoying ideal comfort! Adding to the workload of the cooling system didn’t repair the problem.
I tried a portable dehumidifier and wasn’t blissful with it. It only affected a single room and the reservoir filled up very abruptly. When there is excess humidity in the air, there can be troubles with mold, mildew and bacterial growth, but dust mites and cockroaches thrive in moderate and moist environments. Along with inferior comfort, lethargy and difficulty sleeping, I worried about health risks from polluted air quality. I finally consulted with an Heating and Air Conditioning supplier located in Plano. The professional advised that I have a whole-home dehumidifier installed. The indoor air quality accessory works by pulling moisture out of the air as it passes through the air duct. It operates almost silently, efficiently and 24/7. It only requires annual repair; Having the dehumidifier installed has made a important improvement. I’ve been able to set a higher thermostat setting and yet the home feels charmingly cool. The cooling system isn’t working as strenuous or running as often. My electric bills are significantly lower. I’ve also noticed that the air inside the home seems fresher, and I’m no longer dealing with musty smells.
