How Do I Know If I Need a Humidifier?
The recommended humidity level inside residential homes is between 30-50%. A professional evaluation can tell you what your current levels are — but you may notice things like dry or itchy skin, static electricity, or struggling houseplants. Small, portable units can be a temporary fix, but they don’t keep a consistent moisture level and are limited to a small area.
A whole-home humidifier offers a simple solution to your home’s moisture problems. It hooks directly into your current HVAC system. You won’t see or hear it, but you will definitely feel a difference in the air.
There are many benefits of installing a whole-home humidifier:
- Consistent humidity maintained throughout your home
- Easy to control or adjust
- No need to have a portable unit in each room
- Say goodbye to dry, itchy skin
While the air in Mountain Home tends to be dry, it is possible to have too much moisture in your home. If you’ve ever had a small humidifier running for a while, you may see condensation accumulate on the windows or walls — that’s a sign of too much moisture. Over time, excess moisture can lead to mold spores, dust mites, or other allergens moving in. During your evaluation, our team at Perfect, Plumbing Heating & Air can let you know if your home could benefit from a dehumidifier to help clear out excess moisture.
