It\u2019s important that you maintain a healthy degree of moisture inside of your home to ensure you have healthy indoor air quality. Unfortunately, the amount of moisture that you have to add or remove to your interior atmosphere can vary based on a number of factors. One of these major factors is the season of the year you happen to be in.<\/p>\n
During the months of cold weather, your indoor air tends to be a bit drier than when it\u2019s warm out. The more you run your furnace, the drier your air may feel. This is the time of year when you\u2019ll want to use a humidifier. A humidifier can be used as a stand-alone unit in a single room that is drier than others. You can also have a humidifier added onto your furnace, and the air that\u2019s passed through your entire home will have more moisture in it.<\/p>\n
A lot of homes utilize a dehumidifier to remove moisture from the indoor air if the humidity level is too high, but most of them see a decreased use of the dehumidifier in the winter months. The only room where you may want to use a dehumidifier during the winter is your basement. Basements tend to have a higher degree of moisture than other areas of the house, regardless of the time of year. However, you may find that the unit doesn\u2019t need to run much unless you\u2019ve just experienced a major thaw.<\/p>\n
In the summer months, a dehumidifier can address the higher levels of humidity that you\u2019re likely experiencing inside. You can invest in a unit that monitors the humidity of the room it\u2019s in, and it will turn on and off accordingly. Most areas of the U.S. have high humidity as the temperature starts to rise, so make sure your dehumidifier is ready once the winter thaw begins.<\/p>\n
