• Make sure that your home has proper ventilation. Condensation is on maximum when the room temperature is much lower than the temperature levels in outdoor. The fresh air may absorb more moisture from room air and can make you feel cooler.
   
• Certain activities like bathing, steaming, washing can increase the humidity inside your home, especially in bath rooms, kitchen etc. Make sure that these areas get fresh air periodically for dehumidification. 
   
• Although air conditioners and dehumidifiers remove the moisture from air and make the place cooler, dehumidifiers has additional features that deal with the problems of humidity more efficiently than air conditioners. Dehumidifiers not only remove the moisture but also the heat the air to the room temperature level so one feels more comfortable. 
• Choose a suitable dehumidifier depending on the area that you want dehumidify and the humidity conditions in your area. For instance, you may need a humidifier with larger capacity for a larger area or when there is high relative humidity in your place. 
• Use a hygrometer to check the humidity level in your home. Knowing the relative humidity, you can safeguard your health and possessions taking some precautions. 
• When there is low humidity, use humidifiers that add moisture to the room air.

• If the relative humidity level is high either due to external conditions like outdoor temperature or human factors, the air will carry more water vapour that may result in conditions like condensation of water particles on cold surfaces leading to dampness in our surroundings. 

• As puddle of water forms on walls, windows and doors, these surfaces invite the breeding of mould and mildew which become sources of many problems related to our health. 

• The mould or fungi, along with mites and dust often cause respiratory problems like asthma, allergies and cough. They may also grow on clothes in damp conditions. 

• As the surrounding air is rich with water vapour, your body may sweat profusely and you may experience hot even during cloudy days. 

• The dampness may also cause the withering of wall papers, paintings or even lead to cracking of any plaster work you have recently done.    

• High moisture levels in our homes can cause the enlargement of wooden doors or windows that may not fit with frames. 

• Weather conditions and temperature levels outside your home.
• How the buildings are protected from dampness, leakage etc.
• Your daily activities like bathing, steaming, drying wet clothes etc. 

It is the comfortable level of humidity that makes the winter or summer pleasant for all of us, not just heating or cooling air. An air conditioner, although removes dust and mites and provides cool air, it does not maintain the right level of humidity. For this reason, we often experience dryness, when we are in air-conditioned rooms. Likewise, when we use room heaters during bitterly cold days, again we feel extreme dryness. As such, a dehumidifier can maintain the right level of moisture as it removes excessive water vapour from the air during humid days and add moisture to the air during dry, winter days, thus becoming one of the most useful home appliances from health perspective too.

During extreme cold climates, the coils in dehumidifiers get frosted and the dripping of water completely stops and they may grind to halt. To prevent this, you can add the hot gas defrost unit to the standard unit. When the water gets frozen on the coil, the coil is heated and the ice melts away. Some standard units also come with an extra heater that prevents water vapour from getting frozen on the coil.
