Thisis of concern to allergy and asthma sufferers because excess humidity levels incarpet, fabric, and upholstery can encourage dust mite infestation and mildewgrowth.
Benefits of a whole-home dehumidifier:

Portable dehumidifiers are just temporary solutions; they break down and can’t dehumidify your entire home. You’ll end up buying a new one each year. On the other hand, a whole-home humidifier will save you money in the long run while also effectively controlling the humidity levels in your home.
