The way that a desiccant dehumidifier extracts humidity from the surrounding air is different from other types of dehumidifiers. 30% to 50% is the EPA recommended amount of humidity in home air, any higher or lower than that can agitate respiratory problems in some people. Also unlike standard models, desiccant models are much more effective in areas that have a low amount of humidity.

Home air filters are a must in any house that has a heating and air conditioning system due to the fact that they filter out any small dust particles that are likely be flowing into your home from outside. Plus, if you invest in HEPA air filters you know that they will also filter out almost all infectious particles from the air in your house.
