Why Too Much or Too Little Humidity is Bad for Your Home

Why Too Much or Too Little Humidity is Bad for Your Home

Humidity is a common problem in the summer. Buying a dehumidifier is one way to remove the high levels of water vapor in the air. If that's not an option, it's good to buy an air conditioner. In either case, Ardmore Fresh Air is the right HVAC company for taking care of humidity problems.

Too Much Humidity

Too much humidity means that your house feels hot and stuffy. High levels are more uncomfortable than too low levels. Your sweat cannot evaporate. It feels like your body has a thick blanket of moisture. So, having a concentration of this water vapor that is too high is a health hazard.

Too Little Humidity

Too little humidity has the opposite effect and makes the body feel too cool. The water vapor does not hold in the air. Low levels of humidity can make you feel colder than the indoor or outdoor temperature. The air is dry, making your sweat evaporate faster than usual.

Air Conditioning Repair

Repairing your air conditioner is an important step in controlling your comfort levels. High levels of humidity come with high temperatures. An A/C that has broken down is no good at keeping anyone cool during the hottest days of the year. Ardmore Fresh Air provides repair services to fix your A/C on the same day that it breaks down.

Air Conditioning Installation

Not having an air conditioner is even worse than having a broken one. Speak to an HVAC professional to discuss the types of HVAC products available. We also offer replacements and upgrades when needed.

Humidifiers

A humidifier helps to maintain normal, comfortable levels of humidity in your house. This prevents you from having to raise or lower the room temperature. It also keeps the costs down on your energy bills.

Running an air conditioner is not enough if the outdoor temperatures are extreme. Using a humidifier takes things a step further by delivering moisture into the air. We can install a whole-house humidifier as part of the home's HVAC system.

When humidity levels are too high or too low, the home feels uncomfortable. It makes the temperatures seem out of balance. This can cause other problems, like mold growth and the presence of allergens. Contact Ardmore Fresh Air when you need to upgrade your HVAC system.
