Why Dehumidifiers?Benefits of Dehumidification
Moisture in the home has many sources: plants, pets, people, cooking,
washing, ground water, and infiltration of outside air. Moisture levels
above 55% relative humidity can create musty odors and can also
stimulate the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria, and other biological
allergens.
To avoid the problems caused by moisture, a properly sized dehumidifier
is necessary to maintain relative humidity between 30-50% throughout the
home. This creates a less hospitable
environment for dust mites, centipedes, silver-fish, spiders, and other
pests. Lowering the humidity in your home can help with the safe storage of clothing, books, heirlooms, and
collectibles.
Besides protecting your home and all of its contents, the high quality
Santa Fe and Ultra-Aire dehumidifiers manufactured by Therma-Stor play
an important role in museums, libraries, and art galleries. Both the
free-standing Santa Fe ultra efficient dehumidifiers and the Ultra-Aire
whole house ventilating dehumidifiers provide the best combination of
efficiency, operating temperature range, filtration, and water removal
capacity.
