Control excess moisture to prevent mold, protect your home, and improve comfort in humid conditions.
The EPA recommends taking action when indoor humidity exceeds 60%, as this creates ideal conditions for mold growth, dust mites, and structural damage. High humidity makes your home feel warmer and stickier, forcing your air conditioning to work harder while still feeling uncomfortable.
Dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air, preventing mold, protecting your belongings, and making your home more comfortable. They're especially important for basements, crawl spaces, and homes in humid climates.
From portable units to whole-home systems
Perfect for: Basements and large rooms up to 4,500 sq ft
Perfect for: Serious moisture problems in spaces up to 5,000 sq ft
Perfect for: Whole-home moisture control up to 5,200 sq ft
Portable Units: Work in specific areas like basements or bedrooms. Require manual setup and bucket emptying or continuous drain. Good for targeted moisture control.
Whole-Home Systems: Integrate with your HVAC to control humidity throughout your entire home automatically. Higher capacity, set-and-forget operation. Best for consistent whole-home humidity control.
Capacity: Measured in pints per day. Basements need 50-70 pints, crawl spaces may need less, severe moisture problems need more.
Coverage Area: Match the unit to your square footage. Oversizing is better than undersizing for moisture problems.
Drainage: Continuous drain options eliminate bucket emptying. Essential for basements and unattended spaces.
Energy Efficiency: Look for Energy Star rated units to minimize operating costs.
Features: Auto shutoff, digital controls, and auto-restart are valuable for convenience and protection.
