Enjoy Comfortable Humidity In Your Sandhills, NC Home

Here in North Carolina, there's a saying we wish could get tossed into the dustbin of history and never, ever be used again. "It's not the heat, it's the humidity!" We know! We get it! Of course it's the humidity! That extra moisture in the air can make things downright miserable here in the Tar Heel state. It's bad enough outdoors, but indoors, it could be an even bigger problem. From making your home feel as sticky and uncomfortable as outside to causing actual water damage, you can't afford to have high humidity in your home. But you don't have to. The team at Air Comfort can install a whole-home dehumidifier straight into your HVAC system that works to keep the air in your home at a perfectly comfortable humidity level no matter what's happening outside.

What Problems Can High Indoor Humidity Cause?

Living in the Carolinas means dealing with humidity, but when moisture levels get too high inside your house, you're looking at problems that go way beyond feeling sticky and uncomfortable:

• Mold & Mildew Growth Throughout Your Home: High humidity creates the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew, which spreads quickly through walls, carpets, and furniture. Once you've got a mold problem, it's expensive to remediate and can cause serious health issues for your family, especially anyone with allergies or respiratory problems.
• Dust Mites Multiply Like Crazy: These microscopic pests thrive in humid conditions and feed on dead skin cells in your bedding, carpets, and upholstery. Dust mites are one of the leading causes of indoor allergies and asthma, making life miserable for sensitive family members.
• Wood Damage & Structural Problems: Excess moisture causes wood floors to warp, furniture joints to loosen, and wooden trim to swell and crack. Over time, high humidity can damage your home's structural integrity and cost thousands in repairs that could've been prevented.
• Increased Pest Problems: Roaches, silverfish, and other unwanted critters love humid environments. High moisture levels make your home more attractive to these pests and give them the conditions they need to reproduce and establish colonies.
• Higher Energy Bills From Overworked AC: When humidity is high, your air conditioner works overtime trying to remove moisture while cooling your home. This extra strain increases energy consumption and wear on your system, leading to higher electric bills and more frequent repairs.
• Health Issues From Poor Air Quality: Excessive humidity promotes bacterial growth, increases allergen levels, and creates an environment where respiratory problems worsen. Family members may experience more frequent colds, allergy flare-ups, and breathing difficulties in overly humid conditions.

How Does A Whole Home Dehumidifier Work?

A whole-home dehumidifier works with your existing HVAC system to maintain proper moisture levels throughout your entire house, not just one room. The unit connects to your ductwork and removes excess moisture from the air as it circulates through your home, maintaining ideal humidity levels between 30-50% year-round.

When humid air passes through the dehumidifier, it flows over cold coils that cause moisture to condense into water, which then drains away automatically. The now-drier air continues through your HVAC system and circulates throughout your home. This process happens continuously and quietly, so you don't have to think about it or empty any buckets.

A whole-home dehumidifier also makes your air conditioner work more efficiently because it doesn't have to work as hard to remove moisture while cooling. This means lower energy bills, less wear on your AC system, and more consistent comfort throughout your home. You'll notice the difference immediately - your house will feel more comfortable at higher temperatures, and that sticky, clammy feeling disappears even on the most humid days.
