How a Whole-Home Dehumidifier Can Clear the Air

If you’ve lived in Abernathy, Texas, for long, you know to expect warm temperatures and high humidity as the spring weather heats up. What you might not realize, though, is that excess moisture in the air isn’t just uncomfortable. It can also be unhealthy. Learn how a whole-home dehumidifier can clear the air and solve persistent indoor air quality problems.

Decrease Allergy Attacks

Humid environments are ideal for many allergens, as they cause organisms like dust mites and mold to thrive. If your home is constantly humid during the cooling season, you may notice an increase in sneezing and sniffling as allergens clog your home’s air supply.

At Bruce Thornton Air Conditioning, we recommend a high-quality Performance Whole-Home Dehumidifier DEHXX to help decrease allergy attacks. This device pulls excess moisture from the air, making your home inhospitable to mold, dust mites, and other common allergens.

Improve Indoor Odors

Since high humidity can encourage mold and allergens to grow, you might not be surprised to know that excess moisture can also cause musty, mildew odors to take over your home. An air freshener can’t remove these odors from the air, but a whole-home dehumidifier can. Dehumidifiers attack the problem at the source, wringing excess humidity from the air to stop bad odors in their tracks.

Boost Your HVAC System

Most HVAC systems are designed to keep humidity at a reasonable level while they maintain a comfortable temperature in your home. If your home has a serious humidity problem, however, your HVAC may become overworked.

Whole-home dehumidifiers are designed to work side-by-side with your HVAC system, maintaining a humidity level between 30 and 50 percent so your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard. Since these devices also have MERV 8 air filters, they truly clear the air and lengthen your HVAC system’s lifespan.

Could your indoor air quality benefit from a whole-home dehumidifier? Call Bruce Thornton Air Conditioning at 806-589-1014 to learn more about our available options today.

I am so thankful for BTAC and the guys they sent out to repair a major hot and cold water leak under our slab. They knew what they were doing, and were very professional and polite, and I might add compassionate. They are an asset to the company!

To the credit of BTAC and it's management, I had a frustrating experience with them on a call out for a problem with a blower motor. I made my opinion known and contacted them through email to express it. They responded, sent out new technicians and made it right. That doesn't happen very often these days, and it's good to see a company show it cares about that. If you call these folks to come out, and your experience is what you expected, let them know, they'll work with you. 👍

I'm new to the Lubbock area and Bruce Thornton Air Conditioning was the first company we called. They had someone at our house to help in an hour and the service man had our AC fixed in 30 minutes. Their customer service was great from the receptionist who answered the phone to the hvac professional who fixed our AC!
