Dehumidifier Ducts
What are Dehumidifiers and Humidifiers?
Dehumidifiers are important for removing excess moisture from the air in a room to make it drier. Conversely, the humidifiers add moisture to the air to increase humidity. The respective benefits of dehumidifiers and humidifiers include preventing mold growth and dust mites, and relieving itchy eyes, sore throat, irritated lungs, dry skin, and improving sleep. These benefits yield increased comfort levels, less health risk from dust and mold, and prevent structural damage to a building. Adding humidity control venting adds many benefits to a dehumidifier system. An efficient venting system allows you to take ambient air from outside the room and dehumidify larger inside spaces with air ducts. With a flexible duct hose, you can place the machine in an out-of-sight location while keeping the flexible piping outdoors and the indoors visually appealing. At Ducting.com, we offer and inventory a large selection of dehumidifier ducts, made from PVC, urethane, and aluminum, and from 3-inch to 12-inch diameter, and in black, yellow, white, or custom colors. You have a variety of flexible hose styles, sizes and colors to choose from.
