There’s been a lot of condensation on the inside of the windows of the house and I didn’t realize that it was a problem until I saw mold forming around the cells of the windows.
The mold made me think about buying a dehumidifier.
I went to the hardware store to look at the different types of dehumidifiers that were available. I spoke with a salesperson at the hardware store and he gave me a lot of useful information. There are a lot of great benefits to having a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers can reduce mold and mildew spores and prevent musty odors. A dehumidifier can keep pests away that prefer warm and humid areas. A dehumidifier can also minimize condensation and that will lead to less mold and mildew as well. It’s important to minimize condensation, because excess moisture can cause wood to warp. It can also cause mold and mildew. Condensation can be effectively removed using a dehumidifier. I knew that condensation was a problem in the house and when the salesman mentioned condensation, I perked up and started listening to the rest of the conversation. The guy showed me a bunch of different machines that would work out well. Some of the machines were straight up dehumidifiers and some of the machines were heater dehumidifier combos or air conditioner dehumidifier combos. The combination machines were a lot more expensive than a simple dehumidifier, so I ultimately chose a standalone machine instead of something that was more than $1,000. So far, the dehumidifier has worked amazingly well. There is no more condensation inside of the house at all and the air is very crisp and clean.
