If you struggle with the effects of humidity, you may need something a little more than air conditioning. Air conditioners are great for reducing the temperature in the air, but they may not be able to control the moisture levels as effectively. 

With the addition of a dehumidifier, you may improve your comfort levels within the home and even see a reduction in the symptoms caused by allergies or asthma. Here’s a bit of the science behind these machines, as well as the potential benefits they present. 

Why You Should Be Using a Dehumidifier in the Summer

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Even when we’re indoors, the water cycle is taking place, including condensation and precipitation. But, first, you might be wondering, “What does a dehumidifier do?” 

A dehumidifier draws warm and moist air currents into its coil by way of a fan. Once inside the machine, the air contracts, leaving the condensation inside the dehumidifier.
