A clammy, uncomfortable indoor environment may be a sign of high humidity. Although air conditioners regulate temperature and remove humidity from the air, humidity levels in some climates and seasons can be too high for an air conditioner to handle. In addition, bathrooms, basements and laundry rooms often have higher levels of humidity than living areas.
When humidity levels go higher than 50 percent, mold and mildew can grow. Humidity can damage carpets, upholstery and bedding as well as structural elements of a building. Dust mites, termites, cockroaches and centipedes thrive in moist environments. All these undesirable elements can cause respiratory problems or trigger asthma attacks for those who suffer from it.
Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, keeping the indoors drier, healthier and more comfortable.
