Is It Worth Having a Dehumidifier?

Owning a dehumidifier is not just a luxury but an essential investment for your home and health. High humidity levels, often above 50%, can create a breeding ground for allergens like mold, mildew, and dust mites, which can trigger allergies and respiratory problems.

A dehumidifier effectively reduces humidity levels, creating a less hospitable environment for these allergens, thus protecting your health. Also, a dehumidifier can save you money in the long run. Excess moisture can damage your home's structure and furniture, leading to costly repairs. Thus, investing in a high-quality dehumidifier is both a proactive step towards better health and a cost-effective strategy for home maintenance.

Signs of a Broken Dehumidifier

A dehumidifier works by drawing in air from your surroundings, cooling it to condense the moisture, and then reheating it before releasing it back into the room. This process reduces the humidity level, making your environment less hospitable to allergens such as dust mites, mildew, and mold.

Signs that your dehumidifier is malfunctioning or not performing at optimal levels include:

• Unusual noises. All dehumidifiers make some noise, but if you start to hear rattling, grinding, or buzzing sounds that are out of the ordinary, it could be a sign that something is wrong. These noises might indicate a problem with the fan or motor.
• Frequent water leakages. Dehumidifiers collect water in a tank or drain it through a hose. If you notice water leaking around your dehumidifier, it could be a sign that the tank is cracked or not properly installed, or the hose is blocked or disconnected.
• Failure to reduce humidity levels. If your dehumidifier is running, but the humidity level in your home isn’t decreasing, there could be an issue. This could be due to a variety of problems, such as a dirty or clogged filter, a faulty humidistat, or an insufficient capacity for the size of your space.
• Failure to collect water. If your dehumidifier isn't collecting any water, it might be due to a low humidity level in your home, a temperature below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (as most dehumidifiers don't operate well in cold conditions), or a mechanical issue such as a broken compressor.
