While Denver’s semi-arid climate typically requires humidification rather than dehumidification, certain situations—such as basement moisture issues, water damage, or specific high-humidity areas in your home—may occasionally require moisture removal. When indoor humidity exceeds Denver’s typically low levels and reaches over 60 percent, it favors development of mold and dust mites, develops stale odors, and may exacerbate allergies and asthma.
We connect you with specialists who install whole‑home dehumidifiers that remove humidity directly out of your ducts, rendering dew points to a healthy 55°F—without cooling your house too much.
