Why Too Much Humidity is Bad

Humidity inside the home can cause a number of issues and should be avoided at all costs. While some level of humidity is good, anything above 50% will start to cause issues in your home, from promoting mold and mildew growth to even affecting your health.

Mold

Too much humidity can cause mold to grow in problem areas, like corners and poorly ventilated parts of your home. A dehumidifier can help reduce the risk of mold.

Electronics Damage

Excessive moisture is a leading cause of home electronics malfunction. The moisture can corrode some of the contacts, thus compromising the insulation and causing short circuits. This can be especially dangerous for appliances.

Bugs

Similar to mold, bugs enjoy warm, humid environments. If your dehumidifier is working properly, it will help prevent your home from being a tempting environment for insects.

Health Effects

In addition to providing an environment for mold spores, high humidity levels can also cause other health issues to flare up. Allergies and asthma can be made worse by high humidity, and respiratory infections are more common in unusually humid conditions.

If your home is suffering from high levels of humidity, any of these issues could be forming in your home now. While some issues can easily be repaired, mold growth is the largest concern because the remediation process is complex and expensive. Luckily, a dehumidifier can help you combat these issues once and for all.

How Does a Dehumidifier Work?

Most dehumidifiers operate similarly to an air conditioner, and, indeed, many air conditioners also dehumidify the air as they cool it. By pulling air over the coils filled with refrigerant, the coils will pull heat from the air and cause condensation to build up on the coils.

In air conditioners, this condensation is run out of the house through a drip hose. In a dehumidifier, this condensation accumulates in a bucket to be emptied once full. In some dehumidifiers, the air that is pulled over the coils will be reheated before being blown back into the room, while air conditioners, of course, will leave it cold.
