Dry homes feel warmer, which means you can lower your thermostat and heat your home for less.
Health
Many units come with HEPA filters to capture dust and allergens - leaving behind fresh, filtered air.
Flooding
A dehumidifier can be vital for saving your property from further damage after a flood.
