Chicago summers are famous for two things: beautiful lakefront views and oppressive humidity. When outdoor moisture infiltrates your home, it makes your air conditioner work overtime, leaves your skin feeling sticky, and creates the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew.
At Deljo Heating & Cooling, we specialize in whole-house dehumidifier installation and repair. We help you take control of your indoor climate, protecting your property and making your home feel cooler without cranking down the thermostat.
Why Choose a Whole Home Dehumidifier?
Many homeowners try to get by with small, portable units that need to be emptied daily. A professional whole-house dehumidifier installation offers a permanent, hands-off solution. Integrated directly into your HVAC system, it automatically senses moisture levels and drains water away. You’ll never have to lift a heavy bucket again!
Other benefits of installing a whole-home dehumidifier include:
- Mold Prevention: Keeps basements and crawlspaces dry, stopping mold before it starts.
- Lower Energy Bills: Dry air feels cooler, allowing you to set your AC a few degrees higher while maintaining comfort.
- Pest Control: Reduces dust mites and other pests that thrive in damp environments.
- Property Protection: Prevents wood floors from warping and keeps “musty smells” out of your furniture.

We also recognize that humidity control is just one piece of the puzzle. For the ultimate healthy home, many Chicago homeowners pair their dehumidifier with an air purifier for additional protection. While a dehumidifier stops mold growth, air purifiers actively remove existing spores, dust, and viruses from the air. Our IAQ experts will help identify the best solutions for your home specifically.
