Whole-House Dehumidifiers in Houston, TX

Humidity control for every room of your Houston home, separate from your air conditioner.

A whole-house dehumidifier pulls excess moisture out of the air throughout your Houston home, separately from cooling, which is often what the AC alone cannot do in a Gulf Coast climate. We install whole-house dehumidifiers and keep them running with regular service. Our home base is in nearby Missouri City, and Houston is part of the area we serve.

Why it runs separately from cooling

It works alongside your air conditioner, not instead of it.

  • It draws in humid air, removes moisture and sends drier air back through your ducts to every room.
  • It keeps working on muggy days when the thermostat is satisfied but the air still feels damp.
  • There is no bucket; the moisture it removes is piped to a drain.

For the common causes, read why your home is humid with the AC on.

Is your Houston home too humid?

These are the most common signs of excess indoor humidity.

  • Condensation on windows or supply vents.
  • Mildew spots on walls, ceilings or around windows.
  • Wood doors that swell or stick in humid weather.
  • A damp feel to the air on mild days when the AC barely runs.

Gulf Coast air in Harris County carries a lot of moisture for much of the year, which is why so many homes here stay damp even with a working AC. Before adding equipment, it pays to rule out an AC problem such as short-cycling or leaky ductwork.

Still Have Questions?
Why is my Houston home humid even with the AC running?
Common causes include an oversized AC that short-cycles, dirty coils, leaky ducts and mild, muggy weather when the AC runs too little. The system should be checked before adding equipment.
Is a whole-house dehumidifier better than a portable one?
A whole-house unit treats the air in every room through your ductwork and drains automatically. A portable unit handles one space and needs its bucket emptied.
