San Antonio heat can be real problem. It is a battle for many air conditioning systems to keep our homes comfortable during the long Texas summers. You can give your air conditioner some serious help with the use of a dehumidifier.

The heat, coupled with high humidity makes air inside a home feel warmer than it should. High, interior humidity levels makes our air feel more oppressive and heavy. It also does more than cause discomfort, high humidity can promote the growth of mold and mildew. It can cause your furniture, carpet or other household items to deteriorate more rapidly.

The air inside the home can smell cleaner and we tend to sleep better in an environment with lower humidity.

A whole-house dehumidifier mounts on the ducts of a home and reduces the dampness before it comes into the home. Removing it before it travels through the ducts depletes the moisture in the duct work that is necessary for the growth of mold and mildew colonies. Catching the dampness before it enters the home allows the items inside to begin the evaporation process and slows down deterioration.

Yet another great benefit of duct-mounted dehumidifier is energy savings. When the air inside is dryer, we can leave the air conditioning thermostat at a higher setting because we feel cooler in less humid air. Setting your A/C unit 2 degrees higher can produce energy savings of 4 to 6 percent.

More information about controlling humidity and breathing safer and healthier air can be found at our learning center. Keep cooler this summer and every summer and save energy dollars.

In San Antonio, A/C is essential for a comfortable home. One of the most important components in your air conditioning system is the air handler. While the exterior A/C unit works to cool the air, this interior part of the system has the crucial task of circulating the cooled air within the home. A huge selection of air handlers is available. How do you choose the proper model and size to keep your home or office cool and comfortable – no matter what Mother Nature brings? We’ve made a list of the most important aspects to consider in deciding which handler is right for your home and budget:

• Space: One big consideration is how much space you have. Compact models are available if space is limited.
• Speeds: Fan speeds provide flexibility in the control of the temperature zones of your home. More speeds allow greater humidity control and more consistent temperatures.
• Noise: Quiet operation may be a factor if your handler will be to close to living/ sleeping areas.
• Air filtration: Some handlers have this built in and in other systems it can be added to supply cleaner air throughout your home.
• Remote control: Some advanced technology units allow you to control the system from your mobile phone.
• Budget: Your local air conditioning systems experts can help you choose a system that incorporates all the features you need and fits your budget too.
