Humidity is a concern throughout the year in North Carolina. You don’t want either too much or too little inside your home because either extreme can be really unpleasant. The humidity in your house can be controlled in several ways, some of which you can handle yourself and others of which will require the help of a professional.
The following are some suggestions for bringing the relative humidity back up to acceptable levels in the house:
1. Using Exhaust Fans
The heat and moisture produced by everyday activities like cooking, cleaning, and bathing can quickly add up. Humidity can increase as a result of heat and steam produced by such activities. The same is true whenever you use hot water for anything, such as a shower, a bath, a load of laundry, or a dishwasher.
Remember that you can limit the moisture from your kitchen, bathroom, and other sources from spreading throughout the house the next time you cook, clean, or shower. If you want to get rid of the hot, stale air that builds up in your house, switch on the exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom.
Using exhaust fans is a great way to improve the air quality inside your house by eliminating aromas that can be produced during the cooking and cleaning processes. Also, make sure your dryer vents outdoors.
2. Turning on the Air Conditioning
When the weather outside is warm, turning on the air conditioner does more than just make the inside of your home more bearable. The air conditioner can also control the humidity level within the house.
However, using your air conditioner throughout the day to deal with high humidity can increase your monthly energy consumption and costs. We provide air conditioning maintenance in North Carolina, so give us a call if you want to be sure your unit is running efficiently without breaking the bank.
3. Get the Necessary Equipment
When humidity levels become too high, it’s time to think about getting a house dehumidifier. A dehumidifier can efficiently deal with excessive indoor humidity when combined with your current HVAC system. A dehumidifier can be especially useful in reducing the severity of allergies and asthma attacks caused by indoor air pollution. The best way to prevent dust and mold from growing in your home is to maintain a healthy relative humidity level.
Alternatively, a humidifier can help alleviate the dryness of the winter air. The discomfort of dry eyes, a runny nose, flaky skin, and static shock can be alleviated. Moreover, by using a humidifier, you can prevent damage to your furniture from dry air.
