The biggest advantage of a whole-home dehumidifier is that it dehumidifies your entire home! Portable dehumidifiers are only able to effectively dehumidify one room at a time, which is not typically sufficient. A whole-house dehumidifier works with your HVAC system, so your whole home is serviced at the same time.

When it comes to choosing between a portable and whole-house dehumidifier system, there are many advantages to the latter. One of the biggest is that they require significantly less maintenance than portable dehumidifiers. Portable systems have a tank basin that needs to be emptied on a regular basis. With a whole-home dehumidifier, there is no need to empty any tank basins or deal with any additional maintenance as the system does it all itself!

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

If your home is particularly humid and has been for a while, unfortunately, it’s highly likely there is already mold growing. Mold is not only a health concern, but it also encourages bugs and insects as they feed off the mold. By installing a dehumidifier system, you can reduce the spread of mold and bug infestations in your home. 

Did you know a whole-house dehumidifier system can actually decrease your monthly utility bills? Air with lower relative humidity has a tendency to feel much cooler, resulting in a reduced need to run your A/C unit. These savings can add up, helping you to save money in the long run!

Because excess humidity breeds mold around your home, it can cause musty, unpleasant odors. But with a dehumidifier system, these odors are eliminated as mold growth is reduced!

Excess humidity is often very physically uncomfortable as it makes the air and skin feel sticky or clammy. Additionally, this sensation actually disrupts your body’s natural cooling process by making your brain think you are hotter than you actually are. When you install a whole-home dehumidifier, this sensation should go away as the humidity is removed from your air supply!
