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.

I was referred to Twintech by a neighbour and was not disappointed. Not only was the customer service excellent their workmanship was second to none. Greg and Grant work extremely clean covering the pathway to the furnace room, labeling the essential parts, left the area spotless and were efficient. They cleaned up the mess left by the previous installers (wiring, improperly installed AC coil, and gaps in venting etc). They also ran through the operation of the new furnace and gave me some maintenance tips. Greg and Grant are professional and all around good guys. I will definitely recommend their service to anyone without hesitation.

Twintech Heating & Cooling Inc. came in and replaced my 39 year old furnace with a beautiful Napoleon variable high efficiency furnace! Their work was efficient and professional and they were a pleasure to deal with, from sales to installation! I would highly recommend them.

After receiving numerous quotes to replace my old furnace and AC unit (which was 20 years old) I went with Twintech. Dave, in sales, answered questions professionally and promptly and worked diligently in order to secure my business. Installation was scheduled the week after and Greg and Peter showed up, as scheduled, and did a fine job installing both units. The site was left tidy and neat. I would highly recommend Twintech for your furnace and AC work.

I chose TwinTech because they installed my new furnace a few years ago and did a great job. When they installed my new A/C, they replaced all parts -- the copper pipes, the housing on top of the furnace and the wiring. (Apparently, the wiring for my old A/C was insufficient.) Their pricing was competitive. The sales representative came to see me within a few hours of my call. My new A/C was installed a few days later and I couldn't be happier with Twintech's professionalism and work. I would recommend TwinTech to any homeowner.

Had a great experience with this company. Great price and great customer service. You wont be disappointed with twintech. Discussed the job with Greg while he was installing who was extremely informative and obviously enjoys the work he does.

I needed my AC unit relocated due to upcoming landscape work. I reached out to the Twintech team through Homestars. Dave connected with me immediately to discuss the project and various options. We decided the best option was to mount the unit on the wall. Greg was in touch with me the same day as well and we scheduled the work for later that same week. This was a small job so I did not think I would get immediate attention. The Twintech team exceeded my expectations in every respect. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. The team arrived exactly on time on the scheduled day and worked efficiently to get the job done quickly. I would definitely use Twintech again for any Heating and AC projects.

I have used Greg Dainty for over 15 years in 3 different homes, for heating, cooling, pool heaters, appliances and bbq lines. Greg has always been so professional, friendly and the workmanship nothing short of fantastic. Greg has always discussed my options and fixing versus replacing, giving his honest opinion and what works best for me cost effective wise and long term. I have valued his opinion so much and have not trusted my gas needs with anyone since using him. I have also referred him to many of my friends and family and have always been so thankful with how well and quickly he looks after us all. I hold Greg in the highest regard and would recommend him to anyone with complete confidence!

Really nice honest guys. It was a pleasure to do business with a company that does exactly what they say theyÂ’re going to do! My basement was cleaner after they installed my new furnace and AC. Thanks again Greg and Grant and for doing such a great job.

5 star service!! I had twin tech install a high efficiency furnace and hot water tank at my home. I am taking time to write this review as a thanks for what I viewed as next level service that went above and beyond. Prior to installation they explained my specific options without pushy sales tactics and up front costs. Greg and Grant replaced a large portion of the duct work (built in their own shop) that had rusted over the years which resulted in a great looking job. It was a pleasure to work with people are passionate and take pride in their work. Following the installation they explained all aspects and maintenance of the new equipment. Products have worked flawlessly. Thanks again Greg and Grant! Highly recommend!!
