Humidity Control (continued)

If dehumidification is installed the thermostat can be configured, through the installer set-up, to control dehumidification with either a whole home dehumidifier or with the air conditioner (cooling unit)..

The thermostat will allow you to set the desired humidity (% Relative Humidity) level in your home and can be used to turn the dehumidification On or Off..

Use the dehumidification adjustment to set the dehumidification setpoint to 60% when first installed.. Allow dehumidification to run until the initial setpoint is reached, before deciding if you want to change the humidity setting..

Raise the setting if you prefer the air to be less dry; this will reduce the amount of time that dehumidification runs..

Lower the setting if you prefer the air to be more dry; this will increase the amount of time that dehumidification runs..

Your comfort is the best measure of how to adjust your setting.. When first installed, your dehumidifier has to remove all the moisture that is initially in your home.. The home acts like a sponge so the moisture in the materials of your home is at the same level as the air.. After drying the air, the materials of the home will release the moisture back into the air until they are again at the same level.. As a result, it is not uncommon for dehumidification to operate for an extended period of time when it is first installed..

Energy Saving Tip #1:

Adjust the setting to be as high as is comfortable to reduce dehumidification run time – if it feels clammy or smells damp or moldy lower the setting.. To save energy, turn the dehumidifier control OFF when you open your windows just as you would with air conditioning.

Energy Saving Tip #2:

If vacating your home for an extended period in the summer, set the Relative Humidity at 60% and set the cooling setpoint as high as you are comfortable setting it to in cooling mode.. Consult with appropriate professionals regarding the highest temperature that is safe for your pets or possessions.. This will keep the humidity at a controlled level to help prevent mold while minimizing the amount of the cooling energy used. Vacation hold is a convenient way to adjust the dehumidification and cooling setpoint when you will be away.
