Having high humidity is extremely uncomfortable. The air feels sticky, wet, and hot, and makes it very difficult to ever get comfortable. This sticky humidity feeling is unmistakable – if you have experienced it, there is no forgetting it! If you are suffering from uncomfortable temperatures and the byproducts of an overly humid home, you likely are in need of a whole house dehumidifier system.
Windows produce moisture on their exterior quite frequently due to weather and the elements. But, if you have noticed moisture on the interior of your windows, you likely have a problem with excess moisture and humidity in your Reading, PA home. In homes with high humidity, windows and/or other glass surfaces will produce condensation, which is a tell-tale sign you are in need of Expert Whole Home Dehumidifier Installation Services from Essig.
Anytime there is mold in your home, there is too much moisture! While this can sometimes be due to other issues such as plumbing leaks or roofing leaks, for example, if you are experiencing any of the other mentioned signs and have found mold in your Reading, PA home, you probably have excess humidity in your home and you will need to contact Essig as soon as possible about installing a whole home dehumidifier. Mold can be extremely dangerous to you and your family’s health and will need to be addressed right away.
Much like condensation on your windows, when there is excess moisture in your home, condensation can build up on your walls as well. This will usually result in water stains across your walls. If you are noticing water stains on your walls, particularly in combination with any of the aforementioned signs of excess humidity, you will need to have Essig install a whole home dehumidifier before these water stains turn into mold!
When your HVAC system and/or your furnace are the incorrect size, typically when they are too large for your Reading, PA home, this can result in excess moisture and humidity. If you are experiencing high humidity in your home, your HVAC unit or furnace may be the issue! In the event you suspect that your HVAC unit may have been incorrectly installed and too large for your home, you will need to call Essig to have your home inspected and evaluated for a whole home dehumidifier system.
A dehumidifier isn’t just for reducing moisture, it’s an essential tool for protecting both your health and your home. Excess humidity can trigger mold, mildew, musty odors, and even cause damage to walls and furniture. As fall ushers in damp weather and closed windows limit ventilation, indoor moisture levels can quickly rise. Installing a dehumidifier this season is the perfect way to maintain a drier, healthier, and more comfortable living environment.
Absolutely! When humidity’s high, especially during damp fall days, it creates the perfect breeding ground for allergens like mold and dust mites. A dehumidifier helps dry out the air, making it harder for those allergy triggers to stick around. That means easier breathing, fewer allergy flare-ups, and a more comfortable, healthier home.
Whole-home dehumidifiers aren’t DIY jobs. These systems must be professionally connected to your HVAC system and drainage line for safe, effective operation. Fall’s arrival means cooler, wetter months ahead. Now is the perfect time to tackle your indoor humidity. Let the experts at Essig help you eliminate excess moisture, prevent mold, improve air quality, and restore comfort to your home!
Do you notice a musty odor, foggy windows, or a sticky feeling in the air? These are telltale signs of high humidity in your home. As autumn arrives and windows remain closed, trapped moisture can create uncomfortable, unhealthy conditions, encouraging mold growth and allergens. If the air in your home feels damp, call (610) 215-9512 today to bring back its freshness and comfort!
Absolutely. Most whole-home dehumidifiers are designed to connect directly to your existing ductwork and HVAC system, so there’s usually no need for major renovations.
