Summer in Dayton, OH, tends to be hot and humid, while winter is typically cold and dry. Ideally, the relative humidity indoors should be between 30% and 50%. Outdoor humidity levels are often outside that range; in your home, this can cause indoor air quality and other problems year-round.

Do I Need a Whole-Home Dehumidifier?
Many people choose to install a dehumidifier in a moisture-prone area such as a bathroom or basement. Water damage and related issues like mold are common here. Some reasons to consider the best dehumidifier for a wet basement include damp walls, water stains on the floor, or a musty odor.
A whole-house dehumidifier, rather than being an independent device, integrates with your HVAC system. It helps remove excess moisture and condensation from the airflow so your home is drier. The product can automatically detect humidity levels to turn on and off when needed.
Installing a whole-house dehumidifier can have the following benefits:
- Improved Comfort: Dehumidifying your home gets rid of that warm, clammy feeling even if your AC is set low.
- Reduced Risk of Mold and Mildew: You’ll be less likely to see mold growing on walls or ceilings or be exposed to its toxins.
- Fewer Unpleasant Odors: A dehumidifier for your house helps reduce musty and other unpleasant odors.
- Avoid Water Damage: Lowering the humidity level helps protect against damage to paint, furnishings, and decor.
- Improved HVAC Efficiency: Less moisture reduces the work your cooling or heating system must do, so a dehumidifier can help lower your energy bill.
Using Single-Room and Whole-Home Dehumidifiers Together
A basement dehumidifier can be installed in conjunction with a whole-house dehumidifier. The options include desiccant dehumidifiers that work well for small rooms, thermo-electric models that are more effective for warmer areas, and compressor dehumidifiers that condense moisture via a coil and remove it via a drain.
Should I Install a Whole-Home Humidifier?
At Apex Pros, we also offer humidifier solutions in Dayton. The air can dry out when you run the heat, which can be harmful to your home and your health. Doors, window frames, and furnishings can be damaged if the air stays too dry.
A whole-home humidifier in your HVAC system measures the moisture levels in the air. If indoor humidity drops below a certain threshold, the humidifier turns on. Sensors and other monitoring elements help to maintain a comfortable humidity level.
Adding humidity to the air at home has numerous benefits, including:
- Lower Energy Costs: Humid air feels warmer, so you don’t have to turn the heat as high in winter. A humidifier helps your furnace work more efficiently. However, it can strain your AC in summer, so contact us for the best solution for your home.
- Protect Your Home: Adding moisture to the air protects wood from warping and cracking; it can also prevent structural damage. Therefore, a whole-home humidifier helps preserve your home and belongings in the long run.
- Improved Health/Well-Being: Increasing humidity can provide relief from allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues, and help reduce the spread of viruses, prevent dry skin, and improve sleep quality.
Whole-house humidifiers are available in different types. The most common include ducted bypass humidifiers that add moisture by moving air through a water tray (drainless types reuse the water supply to reduce consumption). Fan-powered humidifiers provide a more energy-efficient solution, while steam humidifiers turn water to steam using electricity to add moisture to the air.
