Damp-Chaser in Texas

[Elwood Doss]

In West Tennessee, which has high humidity in the summer, the humidity
in buildings go from 35% in the winter when the central heating system
is on, to around 70% when the air conditioning is on.  Unless the
building has a connected humidity control system, a Dampp-Chaser system
would be recommended, if you want a stable tuning year round.  I don't
know about Texas.

 

Joy!

Do you Texas techs sell or encourage the use of Damp-Chasers?  One of my
mentors feels that in today's central air-conditioned buildings it is no
longer necessary.  I've tuned for several churches, though, and wonder
if a Damp-Chaser might be advisable in that context.

 

Thanks,
