According to experts, controlling humidity inside the home is essential for comfort, reducing health risks, and protecting the structure of the home and its contents. Using an air conditioner to control humidity is inefcient and can result in overcooling the home, creating an uncomfortable environment. Therefore, supplemental dehumidication is essential for proper humidity control. Indoor humidity levels, especially in basements and crawlspaces, can rise dramatically in the summer months and during the shoulder seasons. It has been proven that humid air from a crawlspace or basement will be drawn to the upper levels of the house (this is called the Stack Effect) and can lead to increased moisture levels and musty odors in the entire home. Santa Fe Dehumidiers are the solution to healthy, comfortable living.
Comfort
Addressing comfort in the home is very important to your familys quality of life. High humidity can cause you to feel either hot and sticky or cold and clammy, while it also contributes to smelly odors in the home. By lowering the temperature of the air conditioner to combat that sticky feeling, the results are cold and clammy.

This same scenario can occur year round in some regions of the country during the evening hours when temperatures are lower and humidity remains high. Santa Fe Dehumidiers control humidity resulting in comfortable living all year.
