If your basement is damp and musty smelling, the best treatment option is to install a dehumidification system. Dehumidification systems make it easier to breath by removing excess water vapor from the air inside your home which prevents mold and mustiness from developing. Additionally these systems preserve the integrity of your home by preventing rot. Below we will review some frequently asked questions about dehumidification systems:
- What does a dehumidification system consist of?
While there are different systems to suit different homes and requirements, all systems have the same essential parts. These include a fan compressor (to compress and expand a refrigerant gas to cool the system’s coils), a reheater (to capture and collect heat from the cooling process), compressor cooling coils and a reservoir (to hold the water collected from the air).
- How does the process work?
Firstly, the fan draws in moist air from the room and passes the air over the cooling coils. Their cold temperature causes the moisture in the air to condense into water, which then drips into the reservoir. The reheater then heats the drier air and passes it back into the room.
- Can I control the humidity?
Yes, dehumidification systems usually come with a hydrostat – similar to a thermostat – where you can set the level of humidity in order to ensure maximum comfort.
- Are they expensive to run?
There is a wide range of dehumidifiers on the market and this includes more advanced products which are extremely energy efficient, easy to use and even have warrantees on part replacements.
