Why Improper Humidity is Dangerous
Many viruses thrive in areas with improper humidity levels, which increases your risk of developing airborne diseases. When a home has low humidity, its occupants are at risk of having problems such as irritation of the eyes and skin as well as inflammation of the mucous membrane. When someone sneezes, the droplets may dry out but the viruses remain alive, floating in the air indefinitely, entering your dry respiratory tract.
On the other hand, too much humidity is not only a problem during summer, but throughout the year, especially due to excessive air conditioning. A home with high humidity levels will display problems with immoderate condensation on windows, wet spots, or stains on walls and ceilings, moldy smells, and mold development in bathrooms and other high-moisture areas.
The Solution: A Dehumidifier
You should keep your humidity levels inside your home between 35 and 50 percent. Maintaining relative humidity in this range helps keep your home maintain comfort and avoid the development of microorganisms. To achieve this goal, you should invest in a whole-home dehumidification system.
A dehumidifier reduces the level of humidity in the air, usually for health or comfort reasons, or to eliminate musty odors. It drenches up the air from your room at one end, takes the moisture out of it, and then releases it back out into the room again. In addition to maintaining the right level of moisture in your home, a dehumidifier also minimizes your energy costs as it helps your cooling system run more efficiently.
