A whole home dehumidifier removes humidity from the air using the same process as a central air conditioner. The DV Series Dehumidifier works in conjunction with your central AC system or operates independently as needed to maintain a comfortable humidity level in your home. Unlike a portable dehumidifier, which only removes humidity in the proximity of the room where it is located, a DV Series dehumidifier attaches to the ductwork, providing dehumidification throughout your home. It is controlled by a dehumidistat, which monitors and controls the humidity levels in your home year-round.
