“So true, that’s why I like the a/c in summer, beside the cooling it does help take out some of the humidity.
In winter months the air in my place is dry, dry due to the steam heat. Sometimes that works against me.”
If you have hardwood floors in the house, these soak up an amazing amount of water in the winter, and makes the need for a humidifier quite necessary if you want to prevent wood damage (splitting and the like.) And if you have a piano you really need that winter time humidity, the soundboard, (the heart of a piano)is subjected to 10-30 TONS of force from the tension of the many strings, and dry wood can split and crack, as it loses strength and ruin forever the piano’s tone. A dehumidifier in spring and summer can remove much of the humidity in the air, making you far more comfortable, and using less power then an A/C unit. By the way, the water removed from the air by the dehumidifier is perfect for plants, using in your iron, and as pure water for pets who may be chlorine sensitive to tap water!
I know in winter months I have to watered my house plants nearly daily, the dry air sucks out all the water.
Gorgeous day today, a little cool but wonderful sun all day.
I worked out in the yard for a bit. Cleaned up some of the old dead leaves.
