How can I control my home’s humidity during the summer months?
During the summer, hot and hazy air can increase the amount of humidity inside your home. To help dehumidify your home, make sure it is properly ventilated and your AC system is sized correctly. Removing unwanted moisture from your home is a primary function of your home’s air conditioning system. However, sometimes your AC equipment alone may not be enough to remove the excess moisture that comes into your home. You may want to consider purchasing a dehumidifier.
The levels of relative humidity in the air can affect your home comfort, as well as the proper functioning of your heating and cooling system. The right level of moisture indoors will help your heating and cooling system work more efficiently. The addition of moisture (humidification) may be required during the winter season and the removal of moisture (dehumidification) may be required during the summer months.
