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