My friends don’t suppose that indoor moisture control is crucial, but we live in the subtropics where it gets up to 100% humidity even when the sun is shining.
It’s hard to dry off while you are dripping with sweat when the air is full of so much water. Compared to the feeling of dry heat in desert temperatures, our heat feels like a literal blanket on the skin. In lower un-even temperatures it can be a source of comfort, but once you’re reaching the 79s while I was in a morning of full sunlight, that blanket feels like a straight jacket. Naturally this moistures gets into your modern home from outside, whenever doors in addition to windows are opened or in your roof vents. I like to use a dehumidifier in my modern home to address the moisture that gets in from outside. Out of the few people I know who own dehumidifiers, almost all of these people only use them for their basements in addition to not their study room or residing room. In general, it’s more common to find people who only rely on their cooling systems for regulating their home’s moisture levels. I tell my friends that they should at least run their cooling systems in the Summer if they won’t use dehumidifiers, otherwise they’re letting their homes get over 79% humidity inside. Mold is no joke in addition to can poison you, occasionally requiring hospitalization. It ruins everything you own that is porous, from books in addition to paperwork to furniture, drywall, in addition to clothing. An cooling system coil will also get dirtier faster in a modern home with an existing mold problem. Since evaporator coils are always wet by nature of their role in the refrigeration cycle, they are always prone to microbial buildup.
