Travis Brungardt sits down with Nikki Kruger to unpack the growing complexity of dehumidifier sizing in tight, energy-efficient homes. They discuss why square footage alone no longer tells the full story, factoring in ceiling height, ventilation strategy, and unpredictable occupant behavior. Kruger explains the case for zoning dehumidification by HVAC system, matching sensor placement to living areas, and choosing dedicated ductwork for better moisture control in vaulted spaces and primary suites. The conversation also covers proper return and supply placement, keeping units away from grease and pet hair, and using the HVAC fan to blend treated air smoothly through the home's duct system.
