Humidity Revisited

Well, it’s that time of year, again. We have discussed humidity on our blog before.

But wait there's more!

Humidification is an important aspect of our HVAC system and should be considered to maintain healthy and comfortable indoor air quality. Most likely, in Edmonton, we experience dryness.

Do any of these questions apply to you or your home:

	Are your hardwood floors creaky and separating? Most hardwood floor installers will void a warranty if the issue is low humidity.
	Are you staticky? Is that a word even...you know what we mean Scared to turn on a light or give a shocking kiss?? Shocking our loved ones is one thing – Damaging our electronics can mean an expensive repair or replacement.
	Do you wake up with nose bleeds? This is uncomfortable, time consuming and completely avoidable as it may be the result of low humidity.
	Is your skin itchy and flaky? We don't need to explain this can make you comfortable and irritated!
	Do you feel cool, even though your thermostat reads your desired temperature? Humid air feels warmer. Proper humidity can mean more comfort, cost savings, and an overall happy home!

Have you ever been on beach in a tropical country? 30*C there feels much warmer than 30*C here.

Why?

This is because our bodies can’t perspire as well, with humid air. Of course, in such a temperature, we feel muggy and sweaty. Though, hopefully you get the idea. If our air is humidified, we can feel warmer at a lower temperature.

If your humidity is too high, that’s not good either.

Excess humidity can cause mold and mildew growth. Some respiratory issues, may be worsened by too much humidity. Yes, too much humidity can negatively affect our health. Obviously, nobody wants that!

Is your home damp?

Do you have condensation on your windows?

One of these dehumidification solutions will work for you.

Too much humidity isn’t good, either! Optimal indoor humidity is between 30% - 60%

How does your home measure up?
