What Is a Whole House Dehumidifier?

Defining a dehumidifier:
There are periods when the atmosphere becomes uncomfortable, even lethal due to high amount of water vapor in the air. At such times, a need arises to reduce the excess water level in the air. That need is aptly solved by a dehumidifier.

What Is a Whole House Dehumidifier?

A dehumidifier works contrary to a humidifier; it removes the excess humidity in the air, making it dry and comfortable for living.  It comprises four basic components which include:

1.Fan compressor: The fan sucks in air from the atmosphere

2.The coils absorbs the moisture from the air

3.The re-heater: Heats up the air to be returned back to the atmosphere

4.The reservoir: It channels the moisture (water) gotten from the processed air and discards them appropriately.

Benefits

A dehumidifier is important because excess humidity in the air can become harmful over time. For one it provides a conducive temperature for molds, bacteria, mild, fungi and mildew to grow. These microorganisms are causes of some of the diseases that attack the human body. They also cause damage to our properties like furniture, walls, curtain, bedspread and art work by weakening their properties.

A dehumidifier also prevents your electrical appliances such as laptops, computers, camera etc. from getting corroded. Food items too are prevented from getting stale or decayed easily.
