Couple at home with dog in the summer - Whole House Dehumidifiers: A Complete Guide

When it comes to home dehumidification, a lot of homeowners tend to think it’s reserved for the winter months. Although portable dehumidifiers are able to improve indoor air quality during the winter months, whole house dehumidifiers achieve much more all year round. Summer is here and we’re already well into those hot and muggy days. When the humidity inside your home is not regulated properly, it can be just as hot and muggy indoors as it outdoors.

Your daily activities can increase the amount of moisture in your home by 25%. That’s a pretty high percentage when you consider the moisture in your home that’s present from the outdoor humidity. Here are some more details on whole home dehumidification to help you understand why it’s so important.
