An Easy Way to Ensure a Good Nights Sleep

On a balmy summers night it is common for high humidity levels to cause loss of sleep and a good deal of discomfort when trying to sleep. For this reason for troublesome and sensitive sleepers it is highly recommended that they make use of a home dehumidifier. For some people they might think that this is going a bit too far but take a look at the negative effects of long term excess humidity:

Disrupted sleep patterns, allergy problems surface due to an increase in dust mite populations, damage can be caused to wallpaper, wood finishes and painted surfaces i.e. blistering from condensation that forms inside on water pipes, windows and even on walls in some cases. Metals in the house can also rust, condensation in electrical appliances can cause irreparable damage not to mention danger and finally musty smells can develop and form mould, mildew and fungus which can all be damaging to your health.

The recommended level of humidity is between 40% and 50%. Air dehumidifiers can help maintain those levels twenty four hours a day. However it is not always easy to select a home dehumidifier that is suitable for you. As there are many different makes and models. Most manufacturers state what size room a dehumidifier is intended for but in reality because humidity levels vary so much between rooms it is not the best gauge of which dehumidifier you should use.

A more appropriate answer to find would be to the question: "Approximately what is the amount of moisture that I need to remove from the air?". From this answer you can look at the dehumidifier model/leaflets and find which one removes the most moisture from the air per day, this figure is provided by most manufacturers and is a reasonable guide to go by; although be aware that air temperature and air flow also play a role in the home dehumidifiers abilities. Once you have figured out how much water per day you would like to remove from the are you are in a much better position to start shopping.

It is also helpful to identify the source of your high humidity, if it is an ongoing problem such as a leaky roof, bad plumbing and so on which cannot be fixed immediately/if ever then you are going to need a more powerful air dehumidifier. If however the problem is not that severe and just occasional then clearly a smaller home dehumidifier would be more suitable.

Furthermore here a re a few features to look out for if you decide to purchase a air dehumidifier:

A continuous drainage feature will mean you don't have to keep emptying the tank, or at least ensure that there is an auto-switch off mechanism to prevent it from flooding, buying a home dehumidifier with wheels is helpful particularly for the elderly who may find them difficult to manoeuvre otherwise, a frost sensor that will switch it off when it becomes to cold is useful especially for basement areas, low noise levels are very important especially if it is to be used in your bedroom and it is worth checking in the shop before getting it home as to how noisy it is, furthermore an air filter will ensure allergy sufferers aren't adversely effected by the air flow and suffering unduly.

Considering all of the above factors and purchasing an air dehumidifier should enable you to maintain suitable levels of humidity that won't interfere with you sleep patterns and ensure you are comfortable at night.
