How to Increase Your Tempe Home's Humidity

November 23, 2015

Your home's humidity plays a critical part in your family's coziness. As the temperatures change, humidity levels vary as well.

Dry air during colder months in Tempe can make your throat and nose feel scratchy. It can also put you at a higher risk for colds and other ailments.

For greatest comfort, your residence’s humidity levels should be between 35 and 50 percent.

Does your home’s air feel too dry as temperatures drop or too damp in the summer? A whole-home humidifier from Orangutan Home Services can make it better. We can help you find the right option for your home during a free home comfort assessment.

Ideal humidity levels help heal dry skin fast. It also nourishes your sinuses and nasal passages, helping relieve respiratory problems.

Too little can destroy wood furniture, hardwood flooring and paint in your home.

Humidity that’s at the appropriate level can decrease the chance of static electricity and shocks.
