Maintaining Proper Humidity Levels During Summer Months

As the summer heat approaches, it is very common for humidity levels begin to rise. Humidity, along with temperature plays a key role in indoor summer comfortability.

A properly sized, well-functioning AC should take care of any humidity issues during the summer months by removing an optimal amount of moisture from your home with the absence of hot air. However, here are a few questions to ask yourself if you feel humidity is becoming an issue for you recently;

- is your AC unit properly sized for the square footage of your home?
- has your AC been maintained recently, and in optimal working condition?
- is your ventilation sealed, clean and delivering airflow evenly throughout your home?
- are your windows free from fog or condensation?
- is your home free of musty or moldy odours?

If any of the points above are answered with a 'no' in the summer season, there is a strong possibility of too much humidity.

The most common and effective way to eliminate symptoms of humidity and keep levels below 60% are to have a qualified HVAC technician install a properly sized AC to your home, ensure your ventilation is sealed and clean, and that your home is insulated well and keeping cool air inside - free of window or door leaks.

In rare instances people have been known to use a whole-home dehumidifier instead of a central AC, or as an add on to their existing HVAC system. However in our climate, an optimized AC unit should handle normal humidity levels.
