Humidity: Obtaining the Perfect Moisture Level Humidity can be a pain, but even more importantly, it can have a big impact on the quality of the air in your home and your home comfort levels. The United States Environmental Protection Agency encourages families to maintain proper humidity levels, saying it is an important and simple way that you can improve your indoor air quality. Fortunately, you have control. The best thing to do is to intergrate a whole-house humidifier and dehumidifier system. Humidity levels between 35% and 50% are the best for comfort, experts say. But if you desire an environment that doesn’t include microbes and that won’t damage wood, the humidity levels would ideally be kept between 45% and 50%. Humidity should be balanced correctly to make sure your home has the right amount. Higher Levels of Moisture – Air may feel stuffy and warmer than the actual temperature in your house and can provide the perfect basis for the growth of bacteria and other pollutants. Lower Levels of Moisture – Your body may react by developing dry skin, sore throats and respiratory issues. Dry air may also harm your wooden home furnishings, such as floors, paneling and furniture.
