While humidity in our homes may not be an issue during the summer months, dehumidifiers can be helpful any time of year. These devices reduce the humidity levels in our spaces, which can provide relief for people with asthma and other respiratory conditions. As Wei-Ning Wang, an assistant professor of indoor air quality and aerosol technology at Virginia Commonwealth University, points out, “Dehumidifiers play a key role in reducing relative humidity, which in turn can reduce mold growth and therefore improve air quality.”
Dehumidifiers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some are portable, like the compact ProBreeze Mini. Other models, like the Honeywell TP50WK, can extract up to 50 pints of moisture per day. Our guide will help you choose the best dehumidifier for your needs.
