What is Humidity?

Humidity is the measure of water vapor in the air.

It is shown as water vapor density or relative humidity. Water vapor density is affected by both air temperature and air pressure. There is a limit to the amount of water vapor that can be in the air at a given temperature. The maximum possible is 100% relative humidity.

What does high humidity in your home cause?

Having high humidity inside your home can cause a multitude of problems including:

  1. Mold, mildew, and bacteria will grow on surfaces such as walls and ceilings.

  2. Wood swelling can cause floor buckling, wall deterioration, and crawl space issues.

  3. Wet insulation and a musty smell

  4. Foggy windows

  5. Overall discomfort and higher energy bills because you’re running your Air Conditioner more to feel comfortable.

  6. Damp conditions can cause your HVAC equipment unnecessary wear and tear, shortening the lifespan of your system.
