July 15, 2015

Coziness is a personal thing and achieving your home’s model comfort level is something the team at Hix Air Conditioning Service, Inc. is ready to support you in achieving. Of course, remaining comfortable and avoiding AC repair is something all homeowners can agree they expect from their home comfort system. There are evident things that you can control to help your personal comfort, including your thermostat, but a less apparent thing is the humidity levels. Humidity plays a crucial role in how comfortable you feel in your living space and it’s often overlooked. The moisture levels in your home are possibly hindering your comfort levels partnered with your indoor air quality, that’s when a whole-home dehumidifier comes in as a comfort savior.

As the seasons change in Muskogee, we have stints where the humidity feels absolutely unbearable. While you may think lowering your thermostat is the solution, it might be time to consider a dehumidifier. The adequate humidity for your health and comfort is between 30-50%. Other than feeling uncomfortable, how do you know if you have too much humidity in your home?

There are a few issues to look for:

  • Musty odors
  • Cracked paint
  • The air feels sticky
  • Condensation or frost on your windows
  • Peeling wall paper

We often associate humidity with heat, but it doesn’t have to be hot to be humid. The heat just makes the humidity more uncomfortable. Fall and late spring are typically high humidity seasons and times when it’s raining or early in the morning and evening.
