Whole House Ventilating Dehumidifier - Should my home have one?

A whole house ventilating dehumidifier, dehumidifies the air & controls ventilation. In Louisiana’s hot & humid climate maintaining indoor humidity levels of 40–55% improves comfort, indoor air quality, helps to control dust mites, & reduces mildew or mold growth. 

The first step in providing proper humidity control, comfort & indoor air quality in your home is to ensure you have a properly sized heating & cooling system. During the summer a properly sized heating & cooling system will not only cool your home, it will also remove humidity. But what happens during fall or spring when the weather is mild or during extended periods of rainy weather? When these conditions occur your heating & cooling system will not be able to remove the humidity generated by cooking, showering, occupants & drying of clothes. The main driving factor for a heating & cooling system to operate is temperature.

This type of conditions are magnified when a home is tight. So why build a tight home? Tight houses are built to ensure energy efficiency, comfort, indoor air quality & durability. A whole house ventilating dehumidifier is the solution for controlling both humidity levels during mild & rainy weather while also offering controlled fresh air ventilation to purge indoor pollutants & renew oxygen for occupants.
