Your home environment should be a maximum comfort for you and your family. A large part of your home’s environment is the humidity level. With Utah being a dry climate, it’s important to calculate your home’s relative humidity to prevent low-moisture problems from occurring. But first, let’s discuss what exactly humidity is.

What is Humidity?

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Although optimum humidity level varies depending on your personal preference, we recommend a range of 45%-55% humidity to manage health effects and illnesses. Summer air holds more moisture than winter air. Therefore, it’s essential to get your humidity set up before winter hits.

Combat Dry Air in your Utah Home

The best way to ensure your home is at optimum humidity is to invest in a whole-house humidifier and connect it to your HVAC system. There are two type of humidifiers available, including cold mist and warm mist. Cold humidifiers work on the principle of evaporation. Warm mist humidifiers work by heating water, which turns it into steam. Depending on your preferences and the state you live in, you may want to opt for cold or warm.
