When you're talking about a really tight home and the system is not removing enough humidity, you see folks have to account for that short cycling of that system. It's less comfortable in the house, but it also creates an environment where things like mold can grow in your home. If there's high humidity levels and that mold has somewhere in the home that it is allowed to grow, it's got humidity, it's got something to feed on, and it's got the right temperatures and so on. We've seen folks have literally mold all underneath the under part of their house where the joists are simply because the humidity levels are so high in their house.
Now there are things you can do if you have that issue, or you think that issue may arise because of the humidity levels or the tightness of your home when you have that. I Would almost say that you need to kind of start over. These are all things that if you're going to have that system replaced, you're going to have your heating and air system replaced. and you're going to spend that kind of money.
Why not do it right? Why not just spend a little bit more and make sure everything is on the up and up.
I'd love to see a video about this. I've been trying to explain to my neighbors why they need to hurry up and add a dehumidifier to their tight homes. I feel like I'm explaining it wrong because they just look at me like I'm crazy and complain about feeling wet waking up in the mornings.
Watching humidity has been a game changer for us this winter. Bought humidity monitors and whole house humidifier this past winter.
Now that seasons are changing it will be interesting to watch how the AC maintains humidity. If needed we will add dehumidifier for summer time.
