5 Facts About Indoor Humidity Levels in Florida

1. Your home’s indoor air quality is in many ways affected by humidity. In order to have healthy air and a safe home environment for your loved ones, be sure to maintain your HVAC system year-round.

2. Too much humidity in your Florida home can create issues with pollutants like mold, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and dust mites that can cause serious health problems. Although rare in the Sunshine State, too little humidity can also lead to problems like nosebleeds, skin irritations, and difficulty breathing.

3. Not sure what is considered a high or low humidity level? Typically, your home’s humidity level should remain around 25-50 percent, as anything higher or lower may cause health concerns, or can cost you in energy bills.

4. A great resource to help you better understand how to control the moisture in your home is the Environmental Protection Agency’s information on mold growth and indoor air quality.

5. If you need help monitoring your humidity levels, consider buying an electrical moisture meter for your home.
