Manage Indoor Humidity for Maximum Comfort
Posted On: June 15, 2022
It doesn’t matter what type of climate it is you live in, the humidity level in the air can definitely affect the comfort of your home, not to mention how your HVAC units will function.
Every homeowner should do what is needed to manage ideal indoor humidity, especially when it involves tailoring your cooling and heating preferences to meet your home and your family’s needs.
The Basics of Indoor Humidity Levels
The right level of moisture inside your home can help ensure that your HVAC system is working efficiently. Simply put, the right humidity levels means your home is perfectly cool in the summer and comfortably warm in the winter.
If you do not maintain the proper level of humidity, your home could feel very uncomfortable to live in. But worse than that is how your family could become susceptible to chemical reactions and even respiratory disorders.
In addition to that, the wrong humidity levels can be damaging to both your home’s interior and exterior. One of the primary functions of an air conditioning system is removing unwanted moisture in your home. But it’s not always enough to remove all the excess moisture.
Manage Home Humidity Levels through the Seasons
It is recommended that you maintain a range of 45% to 55% humidity to manage illnesses and health effects.
Humidity changes with the seasons. For instance, summer air holds more moisture – therefore, the humidity is higher. Cold winter air, on the other hand, contains less water making the humidity lower. If you do not know it yet, you should know that too much or too little moisture in your air can result in a variety of health threats and illnesses.
In the summer, you should discontinue the use of humidifiers. Use exhaust fans and air conditioner to remove moisture indoors. During winter, you can use a portable room humidifier. It’s a good idea to have live houseplants indoors and to place water basins near the heating system. You can also make use of a whole house humidifier.
To solve any humidity level problems in your house you may also need other equipment like a whole home ventilation system.
Remember that seasonal humidity can affect the comfort of your home, so managing its levels all seasons can ensure that the time you spend at home with your family is more enjoyable.
If you’re concerned about managing humidity levels in your home, you should consult with a trusted HVAC professional to ensure that the system you have is keeping your home comfortable and healthy for you and your family.

Great sales member named Dave came in told us some amazing items and how they would be priced installed an all. We couldnt believe it! The next day the ac was installed, that day one employee named Greg told us that our furnace was working way to hard and was causing us to use way too much gas. So two days later they came in an installed a new furnace!

They removed and discarded old furnace. Installed new furnace. Installed air intake pipe, that had never been installed by builder, no charge. Replaced loose hose on floor with hard pipe and rerouted it to drain, no charge. Almost 33% cheaper then quote from Enercare, which was the company we dealt with and had insurance with for 8 years. No yearly fee for cleaning/insurance, saves 300 a year. Courteous, professional, fast, and friendly. My wife and I have been recommending them to everyone we know and meet, and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything, Twintech!!!

Finally! An honest company with highly knowledgeable and informative staff. Had a furnace service and found multiply errors in our system from an amateur installer. Very fair price to correct problems and will definitely use again.

During the summer, I previously hired TwinTech to replace my air conditioner when it failed. They did an excellent job so when I decided to proactively replace the furnace I contacted them. The furnace I had was 22 years old and showed signs of internal leakage. It still worked but rather than wait to have it fail in cold weather, I decided to purchase a higher efficiency model before it failed and take advantage of energy efficiency rebates. TwinTech offered very useful advice on the make and model of furnace to choose including high efficiency and variable speed motor. The price was reasonable, TwinTech arrived at the allotted time, installed the new furnace (including some re-routing of exhaust lines since the existing ones were too close to other vents), removed the old furnace, tested the installation and cleaned everything up. Overall, it was a good experience, they did a great job and the new furnace is working well.
