It has been a few months since I last checked in and hope everyone is having a pleasant summer. I recently had a client who inquired about ways to improve humidity in their home.
One solution is to install a dedicated whole house humidifier or dehumidifier, such as Aprilaire’s product line. However, another often overlooked solution is to opt for variable speed air conditioners and furnaces. Variability in a/c condensing units helps pull more moisture out of the home during the cooling season. Variability in furnaces saves on gas/propane consumption but also dries the home out less, especially in moderate climates like the Carolinas. Remember, there are typically more than one approach to solving in-home comfort problems.
