An air conditioner will manage the temperature of your home and keep the air cool in the summer and to a degree dehumidify the home while running. Drier air feels comfortable as opposed to damp cool air. If the a.c. does not remove enough humidity, a whole home dehumidifier will look after the rest.

Winter poses a new problem and brings on increased humidity. High humidity condenses on cold surfaces such as windows or in places like the corner of closets. The best solution is to install a heat recovery ventilator (HRV), which only works in the winter. An HRV brings in dry winter air and expels stale humid home air, the result is a fresh dry home. It feels like opening the windows without the heat loss and discomfort if doing so.

If you are finding that your home has excess moisture in spring and fall as well as throughout the year, it’s best to use a whole home dehumidifier. The difference between a whole-house dehumidifier as opposed to a regular dehumidifier is that it will control the moisture of your entire house rather than just a single room. This system is connected to your furnace and uses your existing furnace duct system.
