Humidity and Your Home
Comfortable relative humidity levels in a home are between 35%
and 50%. Death Valley and the Sahara Desert range between 23% and
25%. The average unhumidifed, heated home range from 13% to 15%.
This section will tell you why proper humidity will be good for
you, your family, and your home.
Humidity may be something you don't think about every day of your
life. However, if you live in an area of the world where the winters
get very cold, and you use your furnace heater 6 to 8 months of
the year, you NEED a high quality furnace humidifier to go along
with it.
The dry air in your home absorbs moisture from whatever sources
it can: from you and your children, your pets, your furniture, your
plants, your carpeting, your floorboards, your food, your clothing,
and even your piano if you have one. It's important to maintain
proper humidity in your home so you, your family, and your home
stay properly hydrated.
