1. Understanding the Role of Whole House Dehumidifiers in Improving Indoor Air Quality

Whole house dehumidifiers work in tandem with your heating and cooling system to efficiently reduce excessive humidity levels in your home. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, these dehumidifiers play a crucial role in enhancing indoor air quality and the overall comfort of your living space. Key benefits of whole house dehumidifiers include:

Reduced Humidity Levels: Whole house dehumidifiers effectively remove excess moisture from the air, ensuring a more comfortable living environment and preventing the growth of mold and mildew.

Improved Respiratory Health: By controlling humidity levels and limiting the presence of allergens such as dust mites, mold spores, and bacteria, whole house dehumidifiers contribute to a healthier indoor environment that benefits respiratory health.

Enhanced Home Comfort: A well-balanced humidity level results in a comfortable and inviting living space that encourages relaxation and well-being.

There are several factors to consider when selecting a whole house dehumidifier to meet your unique needs and preferences. Here are a few key aspects to consider:

I have nothing but great things to say about this company! From the initial call to trouble shoot our old system to the installation of the new system. Maya was awesome and patient with us and the bank. Stratton, Wilton, and Austin did the removal and install of the systems and they were professional and proficient. I will be recommending this company to everyone and anyone! Thank you for making this less stressful then it needed to be. I'm very grateful for the help and comfort they have given me and my family.

We’ve had issues with our a/c unit freezing up off and on for a month or so. Aden from Keith Key came out and checked our system out. He fixed an issue with the bypass valve and also tuned our fan. Additionally we also replaced our thermostats with new T10’s. He took his time and helped me connect all of them to the WiFi and the app.Aden is very friendly and knowledgeable. I haven’t had an issue with my system since. He was also willing to accept the assistance of our overly helpful shih tzu. Call Keith Key and Aden for any issues with hvac systems, they can get it fixed!

We had a tenant with no heat during the recent 29 degree weather. I called Keith Key Heating and Air before office hours and left my infomation with their answering service. I got a call back from the office promptly at 8:00 a.m. They were able to schedule us for service the same day. The technician arrived at noon, diagnosed the issue and made the repair. The price was quite reasonable. Everyone that we dealt with was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them and will be using them again in the future. Thanks Keith Key Heating & Air!!

We've called on Keith Key Heating and Air twice for help. Both times, they responded quickly, and were able to make repairs quickly. The techs we've dealt with have been friendly, reliable, professional and knowledgeable. And they don't dig in your pocket like some have been known to do. I honestly don't know what more we could ask for. A solid 10 of 10, and we highly recommend.

Keith Key regularly services both our personal home and one of our rental properties! They are good about communicating to us about the condition of the units at the rental property which is such a relief! We have had to call them for 2 emergencies and both times the techs appeared happy to be there helping us despite being on the weekend! 10/10 recommend.
