Honeywell Whole-House Dehumidification Systems

Serving West Volusia County, FL

According to the American Lung Association, most homeowners today struggle with poor indoor air quality. This issue can be traced directly to our need for energy-efficient homes to minimize the effects of high energy costs. 

Unfortunately, making homes better-sealed and more energy-efficient also reduces the naturally occurring exchange of indoor and outdoor air. Fresh outside air stays out, while air pollutants and excessive humidity can stagnate the indoor air quality over time.

What Are the Top Signs of High Humidity?

You may have a humidity problem in your home if you notice these signs:

• Poor indoor air quality
• Feeling sticky or damp
• Stains on walls and ceilings
• Condensation on windows and other cold surfaces
• Cupped wood flooring
• Bacteria, mold, or mildew growth
• A musty odor in the crawl space or your entire home

Some sources of humidity in homes include:

• Cooking
• People consistently adding moisture to their environment through breathing and perspiration
• Bathing and showering
• Infiltration of outside air through cracks in flooring, electrical outlets, and windows

Many homeowners who are concerned with excess moisture in their homes purchase portable, single-room dehumidifiers. However, portable units impact only a portion of the room or area in which they operate and can be difficult to maintain.

Although portable humidifiers can help put off humidity problems, you may want to consider these drawbacks of portable dehumidifiers:

• Take up valuable space
• Can freeze up due to lack of airflow
• Require a drain pan to be emptied
• Can be noisy or disruptive

How To Dehumidify Your Home the Right Way

What homeowners don’t know is that whole-house dehumidifiers are more effective and can be less expensive than installing multiple single-room units. Whole-house dehumidifying solutions are also virtually invisible, so you can focus more on your comfort indoors, without having to deal with portable alternatives.

Honeywell whole-house dehumidifiers are installed on central HVAC systems so treated air is distributed to all rooms. When combined with your current HVAC system, they help improve your indoor air quality by removing excess moisture from the air.

How Whole-House Dehumidification Works

Honeywell’s whole-house dehumidifier, the DH90, can be installed in virtually any application: ducted with central HVAC equipment, stand-alone in a crawl space or basement, or ducted to remove moisture within a single room or zone.

Once installed, a whole-house dehumidifier automatically senses excess moisture and lowers humidity levels by removing moisture throughout the entire home.

Dehumidification Protects While You’re Away

Whole-house dehumidifiers are the best way to protect vacation properties while the owners are away. When occupied, the thermostat may be set at a high temperature, keeping the AC from running and resulting in higher humidity.

The whole-house dehumidifier operates independently from the temperature setting, keeping humidity levels under control even with high temperatures in the home.

The secret is in the core: The heat recovery core of the DH90 acts much like heat recovery ventilation (HRV), moving the air temperatures from one air stream to another.

Cooler air removes more moisture: After the initial air stream is cooled by moving through the evaporator, it runs through the core and pre-cools the new incoming air. The air temperature of the new incoming air is much cooler before hitting the evaporator, removing more moisture with less energy.
