Controlling Your Humidity
The Aprilaire E070 Dehumidifier (formerly 1820) is great at controlling humidity. It operates similar to your refrigerator or HVAC system as it turns on only when needed. Many feel that dehumidifiers are a strain on the wallet by using lots of electricity.
Benefits of Using Dehumidifiers
Most research shows dehumidifiers do more good than harm by preventing mold and wood decay fungus and improving your indoor air quality. Plus, by controlling humidity, your air conditioning system may run less in order to achieve the desired temperature set on your thermostat. The AC must remove excess humidity to properly cool your home. If the humidity in your crawl space is out of control, the AC must work harder and longer to achieve the thermostat setting.
Aprilaire E070 Dehumidifier Aluminum Coils
Many low-cost dehumidifiers use steel evaporator coils. This can be a problem due to steel oxidizing and eventually failing. Aprilaire installs aluminum coils in order to ensure their dehumidifiers are more resistant to oxidation.
How Much Moisture Will the E070 Remove
Removing moisture is the dehumidifier’s number one job. If you have a crawl space or basement the Aprilaire E070 will remove up to 70 pints per day (PPD) of water from the air. That equates to 9 gallons of water that are removed to protect your home. Did you know that daily activities, such as cooking, cleaning, and showering can add as much as 25 pints of moisture to your home? Many if not all homes need some sort of humidity control to keep your home between 40% and 55% relative humidity. Keeping humidity in these ranges will help control viruses, bacteria, mold, and more.
