Dehumidifier Systems and Installation Service in Buffalo, NY and Surrounding Areas
High humidity is usually a big problem during the hot months of the year. This is because hot air has a high moisture-carrying capacity. When cooling air, the air conditioner will have to work extra hard not only to reduce the temperature of air, but also to condense the moisture. As a result, it takes much longer to cool a room and the AC will consume more energy to do so. At Zenner & Ritter, we always recommend installation of dehumidifiers in in Buffalo, NY, to help control humidity levels, thereby reducing the workload on the AC machine.
Signs of High Humidity
There are three major signs of high humidity in a building. The first is foggy windows due to condensation of moisture. The second sign is a musty odor inside the building, which can make breathing difficult. High humidity will also make your skin feel sticky or clammy. If you notice your AC machine producing a lot of condensate, or water, you may have a humidity problem.
Controlling Humidity
As noted above, high humidity will not only make your indoor space uncomfortable, but will also make it difficult for the AC to effectively cool indoor spaces. The best way to control humidity is to install a dehumidifier. This is a device that removes excess moisture from air. It works by passing humid air over cold evaporator coils. As air is cooled, it losses its moisture-carrying capacity, resulting in condensation. As a result the device releases cool dry air on the other end.
