Dehumidifier Installation

No, you do not need both a humidifier and a dehumidifier. Which is best for you and your home can only really be determined by a professional heating and cooling expert at billyGO. Generally speaking, though, if your house is above 50% humidity then a dehumidifier is appropriate. On the other hand, if humidity levels are below 30%, a humidifier is needed.

When it comes to choosing between a portable dehumidifier and a whole-house dehumidifier system, there are many advantages to the latter. One of the biggest benefits of a whole-home dehumidifier is that they require significantly less maintenance than portable dehumidifiers. Portable dehumidifiers have a tank basin that fills up with the water that is sucked out of the air by the portable dehumidifier itself. Unfortunately, these tank basins need to be emptied frequently on a very regular basis. With whole-house dehumidifier systems, you do not need to empty any tank basins or deal with any additional maintenance as the system does it all itself, saving you a lot of time and energy.

Whole-home humidifiers work by removing excess moisture and humidity from your home. Excessively humid environments are almost guaranteed to breed mold in your house, which can lead to serious health consequences, especially if you or anyone in your household is predisposed to allergies or other respiratory complications. By having billyGO install a dehumidifier, you can dramatically decrease the breeding and spreading of mold throughout your home, ensuring that you and your family remain happy and healthy.
