On a warm summer day, it’s not the temperature that makes it so hot. It’s the moisture in the air, or humidity, which can be extreme and uncomfortable. Excessive humidity doesn’t just exist outside. In fact, because basements are naturally damp spaces, they can get extremely humid. A basement dehumidification system like the Better Basement AprilAire® System will take moisture out of the air, which reduces humidity and makes for more comfortable living.
Why is a basement dehumidifier system important?
Breathing clean, dry air is essential to good health. A basement dehumidification unit is a powerful way to clean the air inside your house and remove many of the pollutants that exist in your home such as pollen, pet dander, and more. High humidity can also contribute to mold in your home. The EPA recommends that Relative Humidity be less than 60% to reduce the growth of mold, which can grow when drywall and wood (common in basements) are exposed to moisture. Once mold develops in your basement, you are faced with health risks and the expense to remove it. With the Better Basement AprilAire® System, the humidity is at a level that helps suppress the growth of mold. In addition to its critical health benefits, proper humidity control will preserve the life of sensitive electronics, wiring, and many high-end appliances which can damage or corrode with too much humidity.
Can you buy a basement dehumidifier from a store?
To treat your entire basement, it would take multiple store-bought dehumidifiers. Plus, the retail systems need to be emptied regularly — another household chore you are looking to avoid — and often require maintenance. These units aren’t designed to dehumidify a large space like a basement; they are meant for extremely small areas. With AprilAire® you cover the whole basement with one unit, while also saving on your electric bill.
