LGR dehumidifiers have been growing in popularity in recent years as more and more restoration professionals discover their benefits.

The professionals at SERVPRO of South Cobb have many pieces of equipment in their arsenal. One of the essential pieces of equipment is an LGR dehumidifier.

There are many different types and models of LGR dehumidifiers on the market, but they all work to remove excess moisture from the air in a specific area. 

The following blog post will go over the five key benefits of using an LGR dehumidifier and why you should consider calling SERVPRO of South Cobb the next time you experience a restoration disaster.

What is an LGR dehumidifier?

LGR stands for "low grain refrigerant," and LGR dehumidifiers are excellent at removing excess moisture from the air. A grain is a unit of measurement for moisture, which is the amount of water in an item. A grain represents a single drop of moisture, with 7,000 grains equaling one pound. The refrigerating technique used to produce low grains is known as a refrigerant to restoration professionals.

LGR dehumidifiers work by drawing air from the affected area and passing it over a cooling coil. As the air passes over the cooling coil, the water vapor in the air condenses and is collected. The dry, cooled air is then passed back into the room, resulting in a decrease in the humidity levels.

You can use an LGR dehumidifier in a variety of situations. Some common examples include:

• Water damage restoration
• Basement waterproofing issues
• Mold remediation
• Humidity control in storage areas
• Crawlspace mold damage

The five key benefits

Now that you understand what an LGR dehumidifier is let's go over the five key benefits.

2. LGR dehumidifiers are lightweight

Another key benefit of using an LGR dehumidifier is that they are smaller and more lightweight than conventional dehumidifiers. LGRs are typically about half the size of a conventional dehumidifier and weigh less than half as much.

4. LGR dehumidifiers are quiet
