Decrease the level of humidity in your home.

As southern Ohio residents, we know all-too-well how humid it tends to get in the summer. When those days arrive, it has everyone wanting to go back inside. But what if it’s humid inside? According to the experts, the relative humidity level inside a home should be between 30% and 50%. As it gets higher, the home starts to feel uncomfortable and becomes unhealthy as it negatively impacts your Indoor Air Quality and hinders your air conditioner’s efficiency. Below, we at Fairfield-Hamilton Heating & Cooling, we highlight some ways in which using a dehumidifier can boost your Indoor Air Quality.

3 Benefits of Dehumidifiers

1.) IMPROVING HEALTH

Do you or your loved ones suffer from asthma or allergy symptoms? If so, you probably already know that too much humidity starts to aggravate those symptoms. Why? Because high levels of humidity encourage the development and growth of mildew and mold, among other reasons, and that can cause illness in even a normal healthy person. Having a good dehumidifier like the ones we offer, however, improves your Indoor Air Quality by keeping humidity levels in check, which is a wise investment to protect you and your family’s overall health.

2.) ENERGY SAVINGS

Dehumidifiers enable you to keep your thermostat setting a little higher while still allowing you to feel cooler. As a result, it must follow, your energy needs will decline and this will give you a break on your monthly electricity bill. Furthermore, running your air conditioner less is actually better for the environment. Finally, because your air conditioner won’t be working as hard to keep your home cool, it will prolong the lifespan of your system.

3.) IMPROVING COMFORT

Did you know your body isn’t able to sweat and cool itself down when there’s too much moisture in the air? This is the reason why humid summer days feel worse than other days at the same temperature. The humidity makes it feel hotter by preventing your body from sweating. This is also why using a dehumidifier helps you feel cooler and more comfortable at higher temperatures.

4 Easy Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality

1.) Enforce a Non-Smoking Home Zone

People who smoke indoors should be reminded that secondhand smoke is among the most dangerous of pollutions, particularly for our little ones. Smoking indoors will pollute your air filters quicker, taint your painted walls, and cause your furniture to retain the smell. It’s best to establish a designated location outside.

2.) Utilize Cooking Vents

Many of the indoor air pollutants we have in our home come from the kitchen. Gas stoves, in particular, release harmful contaminants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, which can be dangerous. Electric burners are no exception either. They release many of those same pollutants but at much lower levels. When you cook in your kitchen, remember to use your kitchen vents. In addition to these vents, you can also crack open a window to let these pollutants out.

3.) Keep Your Rugs and Carpets Clean

Your carpet and rugs, believe it or not, do a lot more than improve the comfort of your home. They also function as a sort of air filter. They are able to capture nasty little particles like dust and dirt; they trap them up within their many mini fibers. For this reason, keeping them clean (vacuum at least once a week) will enable them to continue to work in your favor by improving the quality of air in your home just by laying there doing their own little thing.

4.) Remember Ventilation is Our Friend

We must stress how proper ventilation is key to maintaining healthy indoor air quality. Enhancing the airflow through your home eradicates any standing air stagnation. Something as simple as opening your doors, or cracking open a window, will take you leaps and bounds in rejuvenating the quality of air in your home.
