OCEAN ISLE BEACH, N.C.,
May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- North Carolina's newest changes to the state-wide QAP now
allow for dehumidifier installation in place of ducted range hoods.
In direct relation to these changing North Carolina industry standards, Innovative
Dehumidifier Systems, LLC
(https://www.innovativedehumidifiers.com/) anticipates shipments of
dehumidifiers to continue rising as the warm and humid summer
months bring the return of construction projects as well as the
threat of mold and humidity damage.
In the past, North Carolina
designers and developers had no choice but to install expensive
fire wrapped ducted range hoods in their construction projects. But
in 2017, a new ruling by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
changed the QAP to allow developers the choice to install
dehumidifiers into newly constructed apartment complexes in lieu of
ducted range hoods. Such range hoods were expensive, costing as
much as $400–$500 per unit, as well as adding significant increase
into the construction timeline. The ducts had to be wrapped in the
field after construction and after inspection. Switching to an
easily installed, efficient dehumidifier instead has literally
transformed the construction landscape, and it is saving developers
money during construction. In addition, and more valuably,
developers now have the ability to trade off the cost of ducted
range hoods and install a device that will protect them and their
residents from mold growth for years to come.
Innovative Dehumidifier's IW25 dehumidifier was originally
created for multifamily residences, and solves some of the toughest
moisture problems. The IW25 runs independently of other HVAC
systems, has a hidden humidistat, and is both efficient and quick,
allowing significant improvement of air quality no matter how musty
the original environment. Damp garages and basements can be dried
out and made safer for habitation without having to add the extra
expense and time involved with costly renovations or heavy
installations of other equipment. The IW25 unit can also be easily
hardwired into preexisting electrical systems or piped into
existing plumbing, allowing for an almost complete hands-off
dehumidification experience.
"Our customers are our most important quality-control feedback.
Their construction projects represent enormous investments of both
their time and money. It fills us with pride that developers have
chosen to protect their construction and building investments from
water and mold damage by using our IW25 in-wall dehumidifiers. That
speaks volumes to the success of our design. And we've had many
wonderful reports of how easy, how quiet, and how efficient our
IW25s are working," said owner and founder Brian Smith.
The IW25 solves many problems for developers and builders, not
the least of which are new energy efficiency standards. Such
standards call for more secure and moisture-resistant buildings and
homes, as well as elimination of indoor mold and mildew problems
before they begin. The IW25 was designed to be installed quickly
and easily in under an hour, either between existing support studs
or surface-mounted on any interior wall of the structure. They were
meant to quietly perform their duties, drawing as little attention
to themselves as possible.
The IW25 units are crafted with attention to safety as well as
reliability. Epoxy-coated coils protect against corrosion as well
as improve overall air quality as the machine dehumidifies the
surrounding environment. Tamper-proof covers ensure that only
owners and certified staff have access to the hardware. And should
the internal condensate pump ever fail, auxiliary pump safety
contacts shut the unit down immediately. As a complete package, the
IW25 units are perfect additions to any developer's multifamily
residence design.
