Do I Need a Dehumidifier in My Home?
Areas with low insulation or cold surfaces can accumulate condensation when indoor air reaches its dew point. Large temperature fluctuations can also increase condensation, leading to repeated moisture buildup—a key factor in mold growth.
To determine if you need a dehumidifier, use a hygrometer to measure your indoor humidity levels. The EPA recommends keeping relative humidity between 30-50%, as levels above 60% create an ideal environment for mold growth.
High-risk areas for excess humidity include basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and poorly ventilated spaces. If your home consistently exceeds 60% humidity, installing a dehumidifier can help prevent mold, reduce dust mites, and improve air quality.
