A Common Homeowner Problem: Comfort That Never Feels Consistent
A homeowner sets the thermostat to a comfortable temperature, but the air still feels sticky. Rooms feel cool yet uncomfortable, windows fog up, and musty odors begin to develop. Even as the HVAC system runs longer, true comfort never seems to arrive.
This is a common issue in homes where humidity isn’t properly controlled. While temperature is easy to measure, excess moisture often goes unnoticed—until it impacts comfort, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency. That’s where intentional dehumidification becomes essential.
The Ecoer TDi Pro 2 Air Handling Unit (AHU) is designed to solve this problem by delivering precise, energy-efficient dehumidification without overcooling the space.
What Is Dehumidification?
Dehumidification is the removal of moisture (water vapor) from the air. In HVAC systems, controlling humidity is crucial because high humidity can make indoor spaces feel warmer, encourage mold and mildew growth, and reduce perceived comfort, even when the thermostats are set correctly. Source: EPA
Effective dehumidification improves:
- Comfort without overcooling
- Indoor air quality
- HVAC system efficiency
There are two main kinds of moisture removal:
- Accidental dehumidification, where humidity drops as a byproduct of cooling
- Intentional dehumidification, where the system is designed to target moisture control directly
The Ecoer TDi Pro 2 AHU excels at intentional dehumidification -actively managing moisture rather than letting it happen by chance.

Why Traditional HVAC Struggles With Humidity
Most standard air conditioners and handlers cool until the thermostat target is reached and then shut off. While this lowers the temperature, it doesn’t always remove enough moisture, because:
- The unit may stop before sufficient moisture is removed
- Short run times limit effective humidity reduction
- Air may feel “cold and clammy” at comfortable temperatures
This is where true intentional dehumidification makes a difference.
How the Ecoer TDi Pro 2 AHU Improves Dehumidification
The Ecoer TDi Pro 2 Air Handling Unit (AHU) takes humidity control further – especially when paired with the Ecoer EST02 Thermostat. Instead of shutting off once temperature targets are met, the system enters a dedicated Dehumidification Mode that prioritizes moisture removal.
Key elements of its approach include:
- Priority Logic: Moisture removal is prioritized over rapid temperature drop
- Variable Airflow Control: Automatically shifts to low airflow to increase moisture contact with coils
- Extended Run Times: Slower temperature changes allow for longer, more effective dehumidification
- Precision Hardware: Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) and variable-speed motor enable stable, efficient low-speed operation
This strategy results in intentional dehumidification, targeting moisture rather than just a cooling side-effect.
The Advantage: Up to 40% Better Moisture Removal
Under advanced dehumidification logic, the TDi Pro 2 AHU can deliver up to 40% more moisture removal compared to previous generations -with the same sensible cooling output. This means:
- Drier indoor air
- Greater comfort without overcooling
- Fewer humidity-related complaints
Whether you’re dealing with hot, muggy summers or year-round humid climates, this level of moisture control enhances both comfort and system performance.
Built for Efficient, Reliable Performance
Dehumidification performance isn’t just software- it’s hardware designed for precision:
- Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV): Smooth refrigerant control during low-airflow dehumidification
- Variable-Speed ECM Motor: Maintains airflow stability and system efficiency at reduced speeds
These components support the TDi Pro 2’s ability to remove moisture without coil freeze-ups and without unnecessary energy use.
Integration With Third-Party Dehumidification
For spaces with especially challenging humidity loads, the TDi Pro 2 AHU offers auxiliary contacts for third-party dehumidifier integration. This allows:
- Centralized control between indoor HVAC and standalone dehumidifiers
- Flexible solutions tailored to specific building needs
- Expanded control options for complex moisture-management scenarios
More Than Dehumidification – A Complete Comfort Solution
While intentional dehumidification is a standout feature, the Ecoer TDi Pro 2 system offers a wide range of modern HVAC performance benefits, including:
- Future-Proof Refrigerant Compatibility (R410A and R454B options)
- Multi-Voltage Support (115V and 230V) for installation flexibility
- Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Coils for longer life
- Multi-Position Installation Capability
- Compatible with Ecoer heating solutions like the EHK Series Electric Heat Kits
Explore these additional features on the Ecoer product page for the TDi Pro 2 AHU and Ecoer Heat Pumps.
Why Intentional Dehumidification Matters
In climates where humidity significantly impacts comfort and health, homeowners benefit from a system that:
- Keeps indoor moisture in check
- Enhances perceived comfort at higher thermostat settings
- Helps systems run longer, steadier cycles for efficiency
The Ecoer TDi Pro 2 AHU sets a new benchmark for energy-efficient dehumidification by combining intelligent control logic with precise hardware, delivering comfort and moisture management that’s smart, intentional, and effective.
