Can you buy a dehumidifier for an HVAC system?

My home is overly humid since I live in Hawaii. It’s starting to warp my floors and I don’t want to have to put a dehumidifier in every room. Can I buy a dehumidifier for my HVAC system?

Living in a tropical climate with high humidity can put additional strain on your home, so looking into fixes is important. You can buy a dehumidifier for your HVAC system.
Several companies make central dehumidifiers, meaning they hook up directly to your current HVAC system. A central dehumidifier removes excess moisture from your entire home, not individual rooms.
Depending on the type of dehumidifier you get, central dehumidifiers can remove six to 12 gallons of water from your home, reducing your cooling costs and increasing your comfort.
To determine what the best solution is for your home, reach out to an HVAC professional. They can look at your current HVAC system and give you an estimate on the cost of a dehumidifier.
