Created By Industry Experts

We are the pioneers of the multifamily housing dehumidifier system, providing the solution to preventing mold growth in homes and multi-resident facilities. Innovative Dehumidifier is a North Carolina based company founded by Brian Smith. He developed the signature IW25 to meet the building industry’s growing demand for an appropriate humidity solution for multifamily spaces.

Today’s energy code requirements have progressively made our apartments, condominiums, single family homes, vacation homes, hotel rooms and essentially all residential uses much “tighter” with respect to air movement, as intended.

At the same time, little change in sizing of HVAC designs have been forthcoming and those that have cannot be addressed with systems currently available in an affordable manner. Most current HVAC designs only address temperature, and leave uncontrolled the moisture buildup in a home as a result of building “tightness” and normal occupant behavior, thereby creating an environment much more conducive to visible microbial growth / “mold”. This resulting moisture buildup within a home, its humidity level, will climb to levels that make daily living uncomfortable, like the outside air on a particularly humid summer day, saturating furniture, window coverings, floor coverings, clothes and even the walls themselves.

After several years of struggling to pinpoint and understand the problem, and after researching and refining building construction techniques to address such things as envelope penetrations, window flashing and sealing, providing proper air flow behind veneers, other flashing details and proper construction oversight, it was determined that the one thing that cannot be constructively controlled on a regular basis is occupant behavior. In 2010, Brian Smith (a licensed general contractor/ developer) began his search for a standalone dehumidifier with adequate capacity, that could be easily and affordably installed in a standard stud cavity, was quiet, relatively tamper proof and could be used for new construction or retro-fit applications. Basically, units as unobtrusive as an HVAC return in a wall that could be set to a certain desired humidity level and forgotten about by the occupants. Quickly, we determined that only 3 options currently exist in dehumidifiers for residential uses.

First are those available at national hardware and building supplies in the appliance sections of varying sizes, usually designed as free standing and with wheels to be rolled around and relocated easily. These are fine for certain applications, but not all, such as rental apartments where folks don’t like the noise, don’t want to empty the reservoir and “just don’t like that ugly box sitting in the middle of my floor”.

Second, you have units designed specifically for crawl spaces, which do a great job for what they are designed for but still didn’t fit our requirements.

And finally, there is the whole house segment of dehumidification units designed to tie into the existing HVAC duct work, which again have their applications, but did not meet our specific criteria.

Unable to buy what met our needs, we decided to come up with a design that we felt met our specific needs and get it manufactured. Quickly it was determined that it could be done, but not affordably unless we could reach certain quantities during manufacturing. So in late 2012, Brian formed Innovative Dehumidifier System LLC (IDS LLC) with the purpose of sharing the expertise gained in this process and providing a solution to address residential occupant behavior once all other physical building issues have been dealt with properly.

The end result is our first unit, the IW25. Be sure to check out our newly updated and improved wall mounted IW25-4 Dehumidifier with Bi-Polar Ion Generator today!

What our Customers are saying….

    "We have purchased and installed about 11 of the IW25 permanent dehumidifiers, and they are performing very well.  They have remedied our ongoing problem with high RH in certain apartments, and are the perfect solution. The fact that we can install them, set, and forget them is the true beauty of the product! Previously we had tried to manage the problem by supplying portable dehumidifiers, but always had trouble.  Even with the best of intentions, the resident fails to empty the bucket, or turns the portable off because of noise, or some other reason. But the resident quickly forgets the permanent dehumidifier is even there.  It is quieter, out of  the way, and requires no effort or attention from the resident. It's been a great solution for us!"
