Moisture in the home has many sources: plants, pets, people, cooking, washing, ground water, and infiltration of outside air. Moisture levels above 55% relative humidity can create musty odors and can also stimulate the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria, and other biological allergens.

To avoid the problems caused by moisture, a properly sized dehumidifier is necessary to maintain relative humidity between 45-50% throughout the home—including the basement. This creates a less hospitable environment for dust mites, centipedes, silver-fish, spiders, and other pests. Your basement can then be used for additional comfortable living space and the safe storage of clothing, books, heirlooms, and collectibles.

Besides protecting your home and all of its contents, the high quality Santa Fe and Ultra-Aire dehumidifiers manufactured by Therma-Stor play an important role in museums, libraries, and art galleries. Both the free-standing Santa Fe ultra efficient dehumidifiers and the Ultra-Aire whole house ventilating dehumidifiers provide the best combination of efficiency, operating temperature range, filtration, and water removal capacity.
