Humidity in your home can wreak havoc on the health of anyone who is prone to allergies or has respiratory problems. A dehumidifier is an excellent way to control allergies and clear the air for more comfortable breathing. A reputable heating contractor can install a stand-alone or whole-house dehumidifier to maintain an ideal level of moisture in the air, which can help in more ways than you may realize. In Wisconsin Rapids, WI, homeowners look to Guelzow Heating & Air Conditioning for AC repair, furnace installation, and everything in between. No matter what your reasons are for installing a dehumidifier, this team of expert contractors will ensure that your home’s air is clean and dry

Here are three ways you can use a dehumidifier in your home:

• Protect Moisture-Sensitive Items: While you may not think about it often, there are items in your home that are extremely sensitive to moisture, like your mattresses, bedding, TV, and computer. By installing a dehumidifier, you can control the amount of moisture in the air and protect these items from soaking up too much water and preserve their integrity.
• Breathe Easily During the Day & Night: Whether or not you have a respiratory ailment, the air you breathe indoors can play a huge role in your health. With too much moisture in the air, you can wreak havoc on your lungs and airways. Instead, install a dehumidifier to reduce the amount of moisture in the air and create a clean, dry environment to live in.
• Lessen the Effect of Allergens: Dust, pollen, and dander can all live in our home’s vents and air ducts, leaving us with less-than-perfect breathing conditions and at risk of allergic reaction. A dehumidifier will make it more difficult for germs to reproduce, minimizing the risk of indoor allergies. Dehumidifiers also reduce the risk of mold indoors.
