3. Why is Dehumidification Important?
Today’s homes are built tighter to increase energy efficiency. However, tighter homes can limit the natural exchange of indoor and outdoor air leading to poor indoor air quality and leaving excessive humidity trapped inside the home.
Sources Of Humidity Include:
COOKING
Boiling water and other cooking methods release humidity into the air.
PEOPLE
People consistently add
moisture into their home
through breathing and
perspiration.
The second reason to humidify is comfort – both for the home and its inhabitants. Has anyone here ever touched a door handle in your home and received a nasty shock, or put on a wool shirt in the morning only to have it cling ridiculously to the spare tire around your waist? Or for those who live in winter climates, continue to have dry irritated skin no matter how much water you drink and lotion you use?
These are signs that there is not enough humidification in the home, and aside from the irritants we’ve illustrated, this can become damaging to the comfort of your home.
Which leads to the third reason to humidify - Savings.
A home, especially a new home, goes through a period of ‘drying out’, as the moisture in the manufactured parts of a home evaporates. If this drying out process is not done in a controlled setting, it can lead to gaps in wooden floors and moldings as the wood shrinks and warps, creaks in the stairs, drawers and banisters to loosen. All of which can lead to expensive renovations.
Less severe, but certainly not less important, is the fact that whole-house humidifiers can help reduce energy bills, simply because moist air feels warmer than dry air. Because of this, homeowners can set their thermostats back a few degrees without noticing a drop in temperature, effectively saving money on their utility bills. Lowering a thermostat just three degrees can reduce heating bills by 5% or more!
BATHING AND SHOWERING
Bathroom fans can help,
but showering and bathing
are two primary sources of
excess moisture.
INFILTRATION
Outside air can cause excess
humidity when air seeps
through cracks in flooring,
electrical outlets and windows.

4. Dehumidification Why dehumidify? Who needs dehumidification?
Saves money on utility bills
Improves comfort
Protects the home
Allows full A/C SEER efficiency
Optimal humidity eliminates environment for bacteria, viruses
Who needs dehumidification?
Condensation on walls and windows
Home smells musty – basement, crawl space
Uncomfortable sleeping conditions
Cupped wood flooring
Allergy sufferers and asthmatics

5. Doesn't An Air Conditioner Dehumidify?
Homeowners are familiar with temperature (sensible heat), but often don’t consider humidity (latent heat) when they feel uncomfortable.
Most people will either run their air conditioner or turn their thermostat down hoping to be more comfortable. But if there’s excess humidity in the air, they’ll still feel clammy and uncomfortable.
Attempting to use air conditioning as a way to dehumidify only lowers the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) of the unit, causing it to run less efficiently, resulting in higher energy costs for the homeowner.
Air conditioners are designed to control temperature, not humidity.

6. Latent vs. Sensible Heat
Dehumidification removes Latent Heat
For moderate temps – A/C isn’t running to remove significant moisture.
Raining, evening, spring or fall (shoulder seasons).
Relative Humidity (RH) in the house is lowered so it feels cooler and the thermostat can be turned up.
A/C System designed for Sensible Heat removal
Removes some latent heat as a byproduct (80% sensible and 20% latent).
Out of every $1.00 spent to cool living space roughly $0.80 is spent on the sensible load and $0.20 is spent on the latent load.
The Dehumidifier takes on the latent load work and allows the A/C to focus on the heat sensed by the thermostat (sensible heat).
A/C actually achieves the SEER rating it was designed to achieve.
A/C is meant to remove sensible, there is no way to remove latent without a dehumidifier in today’s HVAC industry. Especially with two stage furnaces with low speed fan.

7. Homeowners with excess humidity in their homes often purchase portable, single-room dehumidifiers that can be noisy and difficult to maintain. Plus, they only remove moisture in the rooms where they’re located.
TrueDRY Dehumidification Systems are integrated, which means they’re more effective and can be less expensive than putting multiple single-room units in a home. Plus, TrueDRY can be installed “out of sight/out of mind” in the central heating and cooling system to provide dehumidification to all rooms in the home. TrueDRY can also be used as a standalone solution to quietly remove moisture from specific problem areas, improve comfort and eliminate the need for maintenance (such as emptying collection buckets) — all while using less energy compared to most portable dehumidifiers.

8. Eco-Friendly
Since TrueDRY removes humidity, and air with less moisture feels cooler, ENERGY STAR® estimates that homeowners can save up to six percent on cooling costs for every degree the thermostat is turned up.
