What Should Correct Indoor Humidity Be?

Chillier weather is known for creating dry air within your home. Since humidity levels in Voorhees are typically decreased in the fall and winter, drier air can cause in burning skin, irritated eyes and a raspy throat. 

When you’re operating your furnace, it’s critical to keep your home’s humidity under control for ideal comfort. Let’s go over what the normal indoor humidity should be in Voorhees and how you can reach it. 

The Mayo Clinic suggests having your home’s humidity. During this appointment, our Experts will gauge humidity levels, look at your current heating and cooling equipment and give solutions. 

These recommendations can involve a whole-home humidifier. This device hooks up with your furnace to give stable humidity all around your home. It’s superior to a portable humidifier, which is restricted to humidifying a single area at a time. And these humidifiers can create a mess, spilling water as you transfer them from room to room. 

4 Flags That Your Residence’s Indoor Humidity Isn’t Right 

When the humidity in your home is wrong, it can cause several issues. Here are several flags that your home’s humidity is too dry. 

  1. You aren’t sleeping deeply. The National Sleep Foundation says excessively dry air can make you more susceptible to getting sick, as your nasal passages get dried out. And not feeling well means you typically won’t sleep great. The dry air can also cause your throat to feel scratchy and make it more difficult for you to count sheep. It could also worsen snoring. 
  1. You’re continuously getting zapped. Dry air leads to increased static electricity. You can keep the zaps under control by keeping your home’s humidity level. 
  1. Your wood cabinets, flooring or furniture is fracturing or appears damaged. Air that’s too arid can destroy wooden things, as it removes moisture. Using a whole-home humidifier can keep your possessions and home looking great. 
  1. Your skin appears dry and irritated. If you’re needing a lot of moisturizer but your skin still seems scratchy when you’re inside, humidity levels may be to blame. Insubstantial humidity can also make your lips feel dry and lead to increased coughing.
