During the summer, I need to have a dehumidifier for our house. I had a whole-house dehumidifier installed into our air conditioning unit. I never wanted to deal with a portable dehumidifier again. I had to empty the water tank from the dehumidifier, about three times a morning, yet I always felt the dampness in the house. Then one morning, I noticed the humidity r3eader on the dehumidifier was going up plus not down. Something had malfunctioned in our portable dehumidifier plus it was blowing the moisture out almost as quickly as it was pulling it out of the air. I called the business I bought it from plus told them our dehumidifier was humidifying. They thought I was kidding them plus began to laugh. I only had the machine for about a month plus I assured them that I was not joking. He told me it was a cheap model plus he asked what I expected them to do. I told them I expected them to update the dehumidifier with a modern one. This entirely gave the man a laugh. He said to throw it away plus buy a one. I did throw it away, although I called the Heating as well as A/C dealer. I knew what it would cost to have the whole lake house dehumidifier installed, although I no longer cared. Since our air conditioning machine couldn’t handle all the humidity all of us had in our area. I was willing to pay the added cost. The Heating as well as A/C worker said they could just supply us a heavier air conditioning, but for now, I just wanted the dehumidifier. My A/C machine was only 2 years old.
