Dehumidifiers
 

Dehumidifiers are used primarily during the summer months and in damp and humid locations such as basements.  Keep the windows and doors closed while trying to dehumidify a specific area.  Using a dehumidifier in such areas will greatly improve the air quality, discourage the growth of mold and mildew and damage to building components.

  2. Clean the coils frequently to remove dust.  Be careful not to damage the coils.  It will increase the efficiency of the unit.
