Dehumidifiers
"It's not the heat-it's the humidity."
Today's homes require effective humidity control more than ever before. Equipped
with super efficient air-conditioning systems, near-impermeable vapor barriers
and improved insulation, many new homes suffer from excess moisture. For over 14
years, Swift Air Mechanical has defined the ultimate in home humidity control.
Don't just treat the symptoms, remove them with Swift Air Mechanical Whole-House
industry-leading Dehumidifiers.
Air conditioning
alone can not satisfy your home's humidity requirements. Your air conditioning
system is designed to control temperature, not humidity, and only removes
humidity as a byproduct of cooling. In the Spring and Fall seasons when it's
still cool outside but damp inside, your air conditioning isn't running and your
house is uncomfortable-you need a Swift Air Mechanical Whole-Home Dehumidifier.
"Molds
are commonly found in outdoor air. However, any house can develop a mold problem
given the right conditions. You might not see it growing on the walls, but it
may still be present in your home. Molds require two factors to grow indoors:
(1) free moisture that can occur in the form of relative humidity above 50
percent, leakage from pipes or foundations, or any ongoing source of water, and
(2) something to grow on."
How Does It Work? A
Swift Air Mechanical Whole-House Dehumidifier installs as part of your home's
central heating and cooling system, with a rated capacity of 90 pints per day.
The dehumidifier measures the condition of your home's air to decide when to
run. An integrated air cycling feature will activate the HVAC blower to cycle
air throughout the house to balance conditions. The dehumidifier has an optional
ventilation damper that can mix outside air into the process. Dehumidification
reduces the unwanted effects of high humidity such as stuffiness, sticky
surfaces, mold growth and more.
A Swift Air Mechanical Whole-House
Dehumidifier works equally well in new or existing homes, and is truly the
complete solution for your home's excess indoor humidity problems. "There
is no practical way to eliminate all molds indoors; the way to control indoor
mold growth is to control moisture."
Why Do I Need a Whole-House Dehumidifier?
- Have you ever experienced any of the following
uncomfortable and/or unhealthy conditions:
- Do you have trouble sleeping at night due to
clammy skin or stuffiness in the air?

because you're uncomfortable with the stuffy feeling?
- Have your floors or other surfaces ever felt
sticky or "sweaty"?
- Are you concerned with mold and mildew growth
in your home?
- Do you have musty odors or smells in any area
of your home?
- Do you have condensation on your water pipes?
- Have you seen wet stains on walls or ceilings?
- Do you or a family member have allergies
(over-moist air can encourage the growth of mold, bacteria, and dust mites-three
commonly known household allergens)?
Experiencing any of the above conditions
can make sleeping and even daily activities miserable -plus some conditions can
be hazardous to your family's health or your home's furnishings. Make your
family and home as comfortable as possible with Swift Air Mechanical Whole-Home
Dehumidifier.
FACT: Did you know that Dust mites (and their waste
products) are one of the most common triggers for allergies and asthma? The
Environmental Protection Agency advises keeping your home's relative humidity
between 30-50% to avoid dust mite infestation. Whole-House vs. Portables Excess
humidity doesn't just exist in one room of your house. Portables can only
operate in one area, not your entire home. Portables invade your living space
and often require buckets to collect water that must be emptied once or multiple
times a day. When choosing between a portable unit or whole-house
dehumidification system-the choice is simple.
Swift Air Mechanical
Whole-Home Dehumidifiers are located out-of-sight and out of your way with quiet
operation, hassle-free maintenance and up to 4 times more energy efficiency than
the leading portable dehumidifier! The most efficient and safe way to rid your
home of excess humidity is the Swift Air Mechanical Air Whole-Home Dehumidifier.
"Elevated
relative humidity at a surface-70 percent or higher-can lead to problems with
mold, corrosion, decay and other moisture related deterioration...An elevated
relative humidity in carpet and within fabrics can lead to dust mite infestation
and mildew (mildew is mold growing on fabrics)."
"As
many as 10 percent of the general population and 90 percent of people with
allergic asthma are sensitive to dust mites. Recent studies in the United States
suggest that at least 45 percent of young people with asthma are allergic to
dust mites."
Core Benefits Every Swift Air
Mechanical product provides important key benefits for your family and home.
Health
Excess indoor humidity provides the perfect breeding ground for mold,
mildew, dust mites, bacteria and more. A Swift Air Mechanical Whole-House
Dehumidifier combats these nasty home invaders, which are linked to asthma,
allergies and other serious respiratory problems.
Comfort Few
things impact your home's comfort more than excess indoor humidity. When you
turn up your air conditioner to try and get rid of indoor stickiness, you're
really just making your home uncomfortably cool. A Swift Air Mechanical
Dehumidifier allows you to wipe out that clammy feeling and say goodbye to musty
odors.
Protection Excess indoor humidity allows mold and
mildew to thrive-ruining carpets, draperies, furniture and even clothing. It
also can cause condensation build-up on windows, destroying their finishes and
structural integrity. A Swift Air Mechanical Whole-House Dehumidifier helps
protect your home and its contents by removing unnecessary moisture from your
home's air whenever it rises to an inappropriate and harmful level.
Energy
Savings Many homeowners turn up their air conditioning to get rid of the
stickiness or clammy-feeling caused by high indoor humidity. A Swift Air
Mechanical Whole-House Dehumidifier eliminates the need to over-cool, allowing
for a higher thermostat setting for the same comfort level. And because it is
more energy efficient than portable dehumidifiers, it uses less energy for the
same amount of moisture removed.
Controlling the humidity levels in
your home is very important. For more information call us at 547-5355. |
