There are several reasons why you may need a dehumidifier.

A dehumidifier is used to remove excess moisture from the air. Some of the most common indications that you may need a dehumidifier are:

• Wet stains on walls and ceilings
• Stuffy feeling in a room
• Rotting wood
• Condensation on windows
• Musty smells
• Allergies (if the air in your home is too moist, it will encourage the growth of bacteria and mold, common allergens)
