If there is something I have learned, it’s that in order to have a comfortable home, you have to have proper humidity levels.
I have been on both sides of the extremes, either too high humidity and too low humidity, and they both are awful in their own ways. Usually since I live in a tropical environment, my humidity is too high. When the humidity gets too high, this is a great breeding ground for mold, and at one point I had my attic covered in mold thanks to the high humidity. Not only is high humidity bad because of the mold issues, but it is bad for your health as well. I noticed I started sniffling a lot more and feeling unwell when my humidity rose, and at first I thought I had a cold. It wasn’t until I had a professional heating and cooling technician out that he pointed out to me the actual issue. Once I was able to get the humidity down to a normal level, my allergy symptoms went away. I don’t struggle with high humidity as much anymore, thanks to getting a dehumidifier. I always have my dehumidifier ready in case the humidity spikes, and my hygrometer on me to tell me when it does. It is mainly in the summer and the spring time that the humidity really becomes an issue, I usually don’t have to worry so much in fall and winter. If this is an issue you are dealing with, then I would suggest getting a dehumidifier, it really does solve the humidity issue.
