Ideal Humidity Level for a Comfortable Home

Humidity level that falls between 30 to 50 percent is considered the most comfortable for the average person.

The EPA recommends keeping relative humidity levels between 30 and 50% indoors, and no higher than 60% to prevent mold growth that could be dangerous to your health.

Keeping indoor humidity levels low will also prevent other issues, such as peeling wallpaper or paint and damage to furniture

Problems Caused by Low Humidity
When the humidity level drops below 30 percent, the air can become uncomfortable to breathe. These dry conditions can also dry out the wooden furniture, causing the wood to crack.

Problems Caused by High Humidity
The excess moisture seeps into the walls, floors, and ceilings, creating ideal living conditions for dust mists, mold, and mildew. If the high humidity continues for an extended period of time, it may also cause the paint or wallpaper to peel.

 

A hygrometer is a monitoring device that measures humidity levels in the air and a location’s ambient temperature. It can be a handy instrument for maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment or for monitoring the humidity levels of plants or other items.
