The ideal humidity level in a house generally falls within the range of 30% to 60%, with some variation depending on the season:
- In summer, the optimal indoor humidity is typically between 40% and 60%.
- In winter, it is best to keep humidity levels slightly lower, around 30% to 50%, to prevent condensation and dampness.
Maintaining humidity within these ranges helps ensure comfort, prevents mold growth, and reduces the presence of allergens like dust mites. Levels above 60% can lead to mold, dust mites, and musty odors, while levels below 30% can cause dry skin, respiratory discomfort, and increased static electricity. For overall health and comfort, aiming for an average indoor humidity of about 40% to 50% is recommended. Using a hygrometer can help monitor and maintain these levels effectively
