What Does a Dehumidifier Do?
A dehumidifier does exactly what the name implies — it removes humidity by pulling water out of the air and either storing it for disposal or draining it away. While an air conditioner does this incidentally during operation, a dehumidifier is focused on the task and does so efficiently and precisely throughout the year.
If you’re tired of a damp home where the air always seems too thick, a dehumidifier can resolve that problem.
Signs You Need a Dehumidifier
Need help to determine if your home needs a dehumidifier? Consider how many of these issues sound familiar:
- You feel cold and clammy on cool days and sweaty and sticky on hot ones without excessive HVAC use.
- You see mold growth, mildew, damp spots, or water damage in your home without any plumbing issues.
- You have to run your HVAC equipment for a long time to raise or lower the temperature.
- There are extreme amounts of condensate draining from your air conditioner during operation.
- You get frequent illnesses, allergies, etc., from poor indoor air quality.
- You have pest problems that never seem to go away — they like the water and mold.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can professional dehumidifier installation benefit me?
Having a professional handle your dehumidifier installation ensures you get a high-quality system appropriately sized for your needs. Like other HVAC equipment, a unit that’s too big or too small can lead to comfort, performance, efficiency, and longevity issues.
Professional installation also makes sure you get the full effect of your investment in the years ahead.
How do I maintain and care for my dehumidifier to ensure its longevity?
You’ll want to empty any condensate bucket your particular dehumidifier may have, though some designs may handle drainage another way. You’ll want to check for mold or other problems from the moisture, cleaning any surface that could become moldy every few months for safety. Keeping up with filters is also important.
Can a dehumidifier effectively prevent mold growth in my space?
Mold will struggle to grow in a home that’s kept at an ideal humidity level, especially on the lower end of the spectrum, though it’s not a guarantee in all cases. For example, if you have a leak somewhere in your home, a dehumidifier can help but not completely prevent the problem.
It’s still far better to have one than not, and it will resolve the most consistent issues.
