These filters need no extra charged services from outdoor. Instead, they are washable and can be washed easily to make the air you breathe fresh and crisp.

Empty Bucket Alarm

 FAQs

1. Is it safe to put a dehumidifier in a crawl space?

Putting a big dehumidifier in a crawl space is not a good idea. Also, it’s not safe, but yes, you can put a small and portable dehumidifier to get a temporary solution for a problematic area of your house, such as rooms with very poor or no ventilation.

2. What are the disadvantages of using a dehumidifier?

The only disadvantages of using a dehumidifier are noise and heat. Mostly, all the dehumidifiers tend to blow hot air out of their back or top of the unit. If you are using a dehumidifier in the winter season, this can be an advantage for you, but it is a considerable disadvantage in summer. In order to avoid this disadvantage, you can simply put the dehumidifier in such a way that its back is in a doorway or any window so that it will not heat up a room from where it is, eliminating the excess moisture.

3. What is the best place to put a dehumidifier to get rid of humidity?

Mostly, dehumidifiers are portable, and you can quickly move them from one place to another in order to get rid of excess moisture from your home wherever you need. But if you don’t want to keep on rolling your dehumidifier, you can keep them downstairs in a basement or upstairs where it is close to the stairs. This is because mainly the basements are the dampest place of your house. If you have any other moist space upstairs, it can resolve your issue rather than placing it over there.
