Dehumidifiers regulate humidity by removing moisture from the air, which curbs the growth of allergens, reducing exposure. All De'Longhi dehumidifiers are Energy-Star qualified, so in addition to combating pesky allergens, consumers can save on their energy bills. Every unit is user-friendly, and humidity levels can be easily controlled by simply adjusting the humidistat. De'Longhi dehumidifiers are also made with the eco-friendly refrigerant R410A, so consumers can have peace of mind when purchasing a unit for their home. "We are very impressed with the scientific achievement that De'Longhi has made with their dehumidifiers. Families managing asthma and allergies have a difficult time evaluating manufacturer claims. Now families can look for our Certification mark when shopping for dehumidifiers," said AAFA's Acting CEO Lynda Mitchell. During the fall and early winter seasons, when temperatures and humidity levels are still elevated, mold and dust mites thrive and can cause allergic reactions as well as exacerbate asthmatic symptoms. In addition to the weather, changing foliage can distribute pollen into the air further igniting allergy irritants. Here are some helpful tips courtesy of AAFA.org to ready the home for fall, which can significantly reduce allergy exposure and reactions, ensuring a comfortable season.
