Monday, October 18th, 2021
If we had to guess the very last thing you need right now as a commercial property manager or a business owner, we’d say it’s a “broken down air conditioner.” While this is a major inconvenience in a home, it can be a full-on disaster in a commercial space, leading to the loss of business and worker’s comp claims if you have employees in the space.

Basically, too much humidity makes you feel hotter than it actually is, because you can’t sweat it out!

While this is true–that your forced-air cooling system does have dehumidification properties–it needs a little help. Read on to learn more!
