Why Humidity Matters
The ideal indoor relative humidity level is generally considered to be between 30% and 50%. When humidity strays too far outside this range, you begin to experience discomfort and potential property damage.
When to use a Dehumidifier
If your home's humidity is consistently above 50% (common in summer months or in basements), you may notice a musty smell, condensation on windows, or even mold growth. High humidity also makes the air feel warmer than it actually is.
Our Dehumidifier Size Calculator helps you determine the required capacity, measured in Pints Per Day (PPD), based on the size of the room and how damp it feels.
When to use a Humidifier
During winter months, heating systems can dry out the indoor air, causing humidity to drop below 30%. This can lead to dry skin, irritated sinuses, increased static electricity, and cracking in wood floors or furniture.
Our Humidifier Size Calculator determines the daily moisture output required (often measured in gallons per day) to restore a healthy moisture balance to your space.
