Why Does the Air inside My Home Feel Moist?

Humidity has a big impact on indoor air quality.

Indoor air quality has a tremendous impact on both your bills and your health. It's also surprisingly easy to get under control, especially in terms of proper humidity balance. High quality brands like TruCOMFORT make systems capable of maintaining the correct moisture levels throughout your entire home.

Here are just a few benefits of using a dehumidifier:

• Increase your comfort during the summer months. Just as the sweltering heat feels hotter the wetter it gets, your indoor air feels cooler the dryer it is. The reason is simple scientific fact. Cool air has more room for absorbing sweat, and as moisture is wicked away from our skin, our body temperature lowers naturally.
• Spend less to cool your home. With a dehumidifier, you don't have to turn the AC as low to be comfortable. This allows you to stay cool while spending less money. How much less can be surprising too. Turning the temperature up by just 4 degrees can shrink your energy bills by 10 percent.
• Protect your home furnishings. Everything from books to insulation is susceptible to mildew and mold damage. High humidity leads to moist surfaces, and this prolonged moisture can result in damaged furniture and building materials. This is one reason a functioning air conditioner is so essential to Gastonia homes. Even a few weeks in the summer heat while your unit is on the fritz can cause damage to your home. A dehumidifier can help prevent that by keeping humidity low regardless.
