The Environmental Protection Agency warns against relative humidity above 60% in summer and below 30% in winter. Many health professionals recommend between 40% and 50% for health reasons and maximum comfort. It’s often not possible to achieve that range through cooling and heating alone. DNA Heating & Air recommends installing a whole-house dehumidifier and whole-house humidifier in Columbus, GA. These systems will let you set RH precisely and maintain it throughout the entire home.

Whole-House Humidifier and Dehumidifier Installations
Humidifier installation in Columbus is what you need if you struggle to maintain 40% RH during the colder months. The air is naturally drier during winter, and your heating system exacerbates that fact. It heats that dry air quickly, which then absorbs moisture from your environment.
There are two main types of whole-house humidifiers: bypass and powered. The industry often calls bypass humidifiers furnace humidifiers as well. They don’t have their own fans. Instead, they rely on the air coming through the heating system. After your heating system heats the air, the humidifier infuses the air with water vapor. Powered units have their own fans. There’s more flexibility where you can install them. You can also run them even when the heating system isn’t on. In both cases, we’ll connect the system to your plumbing to avoid having to refill the unit.
Dehumidifier installation is what you need if you struggle to maintain 50% RH in summer, which is common with our swampy Georgia air. The air is naturally more humid during the warmer months. Your air conditioning system performs some dehumidification but it isn’t a dedicated humidifier, so its capabilities are limited. A dedicated dehumidifier will remove substantially more water vapor to make your home more comfortable.
With a whole-house dehumidifier, you have the choice of either a bypass or a powered system. The most basic type of dehumidifier has a desiccant material that absorbs moisture from the air. These are usually bypass systems. More advanced systems use an evaporator coil. Those require a drainage system just like an AC to let the moisture automatically drain from the home.
Whole-house humidity control can provide you many benefits:
Less prone to illnesses
Increased energy efficiency
Less sweating
“Feels like” comfort settings
Healthier wood floors and furnishings
More restful sleep and higher energy levels
