How to Regulate Humidity in Your Home

Fall is coming to Southeast Michigan, and your HVAC system is hard at work adjusting to the changing temperatures. Before winter hits, it’s important to make sure your system is prepared. 

While air conditioners are keeping your home cool, they’re also removing moisture. When AC usage starts to go down in the fall, the relative humidity in your home will increase. 

This will affect different homes in different ways, so the best way to monitor your home’s humidity is to purchase a humidistat. These devices cost only a few dollars and can help you increase the efficiency of your home's HVAC system. Depending on what your humidity levels are at, you’ll be able to adjust your home’s temperature accordingly.

If your home’s relative humidity is constantly above 65% and lowering the temperature isn’t bringing the humidity level down, you might need to install either a variable speed air conditioning unit or an entire house dehumidifier. Both of these options, while more costly than adjusting your thermostat, will help combat your home’s humidity issues and make you more comfortable.

What is the RGF?

The REME HALO® is an “active” solution that neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 within the occupied space, eliminating the need for virus particles to travel through the HVAC system filters or UV air purification system.

Every time a hydro peroxide molecule comes into contact with contaminants, it quickly breaks them down and destroys them, restoring the air to its clean, natural state. The system also uses positive and negative ions to charge the air, causing dust, dander and pollen to stick together, making your existing air filter equipment more efficient at capturing these particles.

Why it’s Important that HVAC Filters are Cleaned and Maintained

What kind of filter should you buy?

How do you clean your filter?

Are you worried about the indoor air quality in your Ann Arbor home?

You could check your air filter before it causes an issue to heat or cool your home properly.

If you have to buy a new disposable filter, look at the dimensions on the side of your current one so you know what size to buy. It’s not a one size fits all device! If your filter fits perfectly, then you should purchase a filter with those same dimensions. Purchasing a filter that’s too small or too large can result in gaps that let dirt, dust, and debris through, which can burn out your HVAC system, not to mention cause breathing problems for you and your family.
