Borter Heating & Air Conditioning knows the importance that humidity plays in our daily lives. Apart from ambient temperatures, humidity plays a vital role in affecting how our body perceives comfort.
There is a fine line between too much or too little humidity, which can often cause health problems or damage to your home and belongings:
Too Dry
- Chronic health problems like nose bleeds, dry skin, and sinus irritation
- Static shocks more common in dryer conditions
- Musical instruments, particularly pianos, fall out of tune
- Hardwood floor boards separate or crack
- Still feel cold with high thermostat setting
Too Wet
- Clammy or sticky skin
- Heavy condensation or icing on windows
- Mold and mildew more likely to form resulting in worse allergies and health problems
- Odd odors related to must
- Musical instruments, particularly pianos, fall out of tune
- Wood floors and furniture tend to warp
