Correcting Humidity Issues Can Help You Improve Your Indoor Comfort

If you have the option to directly control the humidity level in your home, you might be wondering what is best. Of course, this is a matter of personal preference, just as some people are more comfortable in warm weather, while some people are more comfortable in cool weather.

In general, most people are going to be comfortable at a humidity level between 30 and 50 percent. If your humidity level is too far outside of this range, there is a chance that people in your home might start to feel uncomfortable.

Regardless of whether your humidity level is too high or too low, it can lead to issues. For example, if your humidity level is too low, the air can feel very dry and uncomfortable. You might notice that your lips are chapping, your skin might start to itch, and your throat might start to feel a bit scratchy. You might notice that your lips, skin, and hair start to feel dry. You might even notice that you are generating more static electricity.

On the other hand, if the humidity is too high, it can lead to a host of other concerns. You might notice some condensation starting to form on your windows, and you might even see some wet marks on your ceilings and walls. A high humidity level can also make it far more likely for your home to develop mold and mildew, leading to a strange, musty odor throughout the house.

If you have issues with the humidity level in your home, the first thing you need to do is figure out whether your humidity level is too high or too low.

If the humidity level in your home is too low, you should consider installing a humidifier directly attached to your HVAC unit to increase the humidity level in your house. You might also want to close your doors and windows to trap any moisture inside your house to increase your humidity levels. There are even houseplants you can add to your house that will increase your humidity level.

In contrast, if your humidity level is too high, you might want to attach a dehumidifier directly to your HVAC system. You may also want to turn on the vent in some areas of your home, such as the bathroom. You may also want to take a closer look at your air conditioner to make sure it is appropriate for the size of your house.
