Tips to reduce humidity in home in the Lowcountry

Heat and humidity levels are hitting full stride heading into the summer in the Lowcountry.

 

 

 

With June now here we’re seeing those extended periods of heat & humidity levels, which means your HVAC system is working overtime to keep your family cool & dry this time of year.

 

 

 

Even with your system working well (and the best possible HVAC company to support them), there could be ways you might still feel uncomfortable this time of year.

 

 

 

One of those potential sources of discomfort is from excess humidity in your home.

 

 

 

Even with the temperature properly set, your home could still feel uncomfortable if there’s some lingering humidity leaking in.

 

 

 

And if your home is feeling sticky now, if you don’t tackle the issue early, it’s going to make for a very long summer.

 

 

 

It’s not always easy to identify solutions to excess humidity, but to help you out I’ve put together some really simple things you can check on this summer below.

 

 

 

1. Thermostat Settings

 

 

 

Most modern thermostats have humidity sensors, which allow you to control the humidity level inside your home, alongside the temperature.

 

 

 

Before jumping to the tips below, check your settings to make sure your controls aren’t the culprit (a really easy thing to miss sometimes).

 

 

 

2. Check Seals Around Doors & Windows (And Other Openings)

 

 

 

One of the more common sources of humidity leaking into your home is in and around entryways, windows, bathroom vents and other openings into your living spaces.

 

 

 

Checking and sealing those properly can help keep those humidity levels down (and also keep your system from working harder than it needs to).

 

 

 

3. Consider A Dehumidifier Solution

 

 

 

With other sources of humidity checked out and covered, another potential solution is to evaluate a dehumidifier solution.

 

 

 

Dehumidifiers come in all shapes and sizes (and are deserving of their own future post here), but they can offer a way to pull some of that excess moisture in specific areas of your home (or even your whole home, for some models). 

 

 

 

4. Have A Local HVAC Contractor Check Your AC Unit Size

 

 

 

As always, should you be experiencing some uncomfortable humidity levels in your home and you’ve exhausted your options, you can always reach out to a local HVAC company in the Charleston area.

 

 

 

The source of your humidity issues could very well come from a larger issue – like an improperly sized unit, for example – and an HVAC contractor will be able to determine the best path to resolve that issue (sometimes with a replacement system needed). 

 

 

 

Excess humidity in your home can affect everything from your everyday comfort to your sleep schedule and leisure time – something you don’t want this summer.

 

 

 

Should you run into those issues, following the steps above should help keep you covered this summer – and if not, reach out to your local, family-friendly team this year to be sure you get to the very bottom of the issue.
