Question by DUSK: Should one add a dehumidifier to a manufactured home with central air conditioning in a very humid climate?
Research says no. In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas many months are tropical.My central air has an A coil inside+outside condenser +proper tonnage. My man.home as with many m/h’s does not have an attic, air return vents nor the proper insulation for this climate but passed state inspect. A teacher of an HVAC class brought his students to my at my request. *He cut off the fresh air intake above the A coil explaining that the a/c would be more efficient. My home has been state inspected.
I am most comfortable with humidity below 40% as I suffer from sweats due to an auto-immune disorder. Yes, I drink much water.
I have several types of air purifiers in my home & change the best type of filter each month. I’ve had qualified HVAC techs check the system. One recommendation was an intake vent installed above the filtered A-coil area. Ducts have been cleaned and repaired. A dehumidifier? No mold is present on walls, grout, etc.
