How to Increase Your Knoxville Home's Humidity

November 23, 2015

Your home's humidity plays a major function in your family's coziness. As the weather changes, humidity levels fluctuate as well.

Dry air during winter months in Knoxville can make your throat and nose feel coarse. It can also put you at a increased risk for colds and other ailments.

For greatest comfort, your residence’s humidity levels should be between 35 and 50 percent.

Does your home’s air feel too dry as temperatures drop or too wet when temperatures rise? A whole-home humidifier from R & M Climate Control Service Experts can make it better. We can help you discover the best option for your family during a free home comfort assessment.
