Performance™ Whole-House Dehumidifier
Managing indoor humidity is important to creating a comfortable, healthy indoor environment by helping remove moisture from the air. If the humidity level is too high, it can encourage mold growth and create a cozy home for dust mite matter and other pests to thrive.
High humidity can make you and your wallet uncomfortable too because you’ll tend to want the cooling temperature lower than you need for comfort so your HVAC system has to work harder to keep up.
The Carrier® Performance Series whole home dehumidifier is available in two sizes so regardless if you need a whole-home solution or just have a humid basement, you’ll have dehumidification that’s just right for your needs.
Both sizes of dehumidifiers work quietly to wring out humidity from the outdoor air so no matter the square footage of your space, you can save on utilities and be comfortable with drier air.
And, they’re designed to be configurable with your existing system in a multitude of ways or operate independently away from your system if space is a problem.
Whole house dehumidifiers can significantly enhance indoor air quality by maintaining an optimal humidity level throughout your home. This can help reduce the prevalence of allergens such as dust mite matter and mold spores, which are known to aggravate allergies and asthma.
By controlling excess moisture, whole-house dehumidifiers can help prevent mold and mildew growth, which could potentially cause various health issues and a musty smell, while also protecting the structural integrity of your home. Additionally, maintaining a comfortable humidity level allows you to feel cooler at higher temperatures, reducing the need for air conditioning.
This not only enhances overall comfort but can also lead to energy savings, making whole-house dehumidifiers an efficient and health-promoting investment.
