Moving from the northern part of the country to the south was a immense transition.
My partner in addition to I were surprised that legitimately few homes are equipped with basements.
The apartment my pal and I bought has a water furnace installed in a closet in addition to a water pump located in the front yard. My fantastic friend and I needed to unconnect the back porch because the wood was infested with termite. The soil is basically sand in addition to my pal and I have palm trees in addition to caucasus growing in the garden, but our apartment is not equipped with any type of heat system, in addition to my pal and I rely on the central A/C just about year round. In our former home, lack of humidity was an issue. During the winter, the air would become excessively dry in addition to lead to static shock, frizzy hair, chapped lips in addition to bloody noses. Down south, my pal and I have the opposite problem. The excess moisture makes the air feel boiling in addition to sticky. Lowering the temperature control setting cools the air however doesn’t unconnect the humidity. There are still issues with mold in addition to mildew growth, musty aromas, condensate running down the windows in addition to the occasion of wood swelling in addition to warping. Dust mites, cockroaches in addition to algae thrive in moist environments. Overly high humidity can be blamed for irritating symptoms of asthma, allergies in addition to respiratory infection. To improve comfort in addition to air quality, my pal and I needed to invest in a whole-apartment dehumidifier. The machine works to pull moisture out of the air as it passes through the A/C. We’re able to set higher temperature control settings in addition to reduce the demands on the cooling system. The dehumidifier runs 24/7, operates silently in addition to requires only yearly upkeep.
