About Whole-Home Dehumidifiers

A dry, comfortable house in the muggiest months

High indoor humidity makes a house feel clammy, encourages mold and dust mites and can damage wood and drywall. An air conditioner removes some moisture, but a short-cycling or oversized one often does not run long enough to do the job.

A whole-home dehumidifier ties into your ducts and drains automatically, keeping humidity in a comfortable range even when the air conditioner is not running.

Short cycles do not dry

Why AC Alone Is Not Enough

An oversized or very short-cycling air conditioner cools quickly but does not run long enough to remove moisture.

Good to Know

Questions About Whole-Home Dehumidifiers

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

What humidity should my home be in summer?

Many people are comfortable with indoor humidity between about 40 and 50 percent. Higher levels can feel clammy and encourage mold.

Do I need a dehumidifier if I have air conditioning?

Not always, but if the house feels clammy or smells musty, a dehumidifier often helps.

Where does the water go?

A whole-home dehumidifier drains to a floor drain, condensate line or pump, so there is no bucket to empty.
