Humidity is often overlooked as a major factor that contributes to or detracts from the comfort of your home. However, humidity above or below the optimal range can have significant impact on your comfort and health; in the fall and winter months, low humidity levels outside contribute to dry, uncomfortable air inside.

People tend to feel most comfortable at a relative humidity of about 45%, although for maximum comfort that doesn’t encourage bacteria growth, the optimal range is between 25% and 55%. With proper humidification, in the winter time, you can set your thermostat at 69° F if you have 55% RH and it will provide you and your family comfort as if you set your thermostat at 72 ° F with 30% RH.

And right about now, with all these percentages being thrown around, you’re probably wondering what all this has to do with you and your home. Well, here’s the breakdown:

 

Effects of Low Humidity
Scratchy nose and throat
Dry eyes and skin
Aggravated asthma and allergies
Nosebleeds
Static electricity
Cooler-feeling air
Unhealthy houseplants
Dry hardwood floors

Damaged musical instruments

Benefits of Optimal Humidity Levels
Lower utility bills
Warmer-feeling air


Plus, you won't experience any of the discomforts listed on the left: no more scratchy nose and throat, no more dry eyes and skin, lessened or eliminated static electricity and healthier house plants!
