Here at Rod... Humidification, the process of manipulating the amount of moisture in the air for optimum health and comfort, is an important aspect of your total heating and cooling household operations. Here at Rodenhiser, we know how to help you achieve the best percentage of humidity for you and your home. When humidity levels run too high, as may happen in the summer, in excessively rainy areas, near the ocean, or in beneath ground-level rooms, your body struggles to cool itself, especially if the actual room temperatures are also higher than normal. Asthma attacks can be triggered and even heat stroke is a danger. Both mold and dust mites are much more likely to multiply in humidities above 50%, increasing a variety of additional health risks. Humidification is also a concern when the moisture in the air drops too low. Below 35% levels can make you more susceptible to colds and flu and that annoying scratchy throat. Allergies can be aggravated. Even your furniture, wooden floors, and musical instruments will suffer when the air is too dry. This condition is more apt to happen in winter, in very dry climates, or where the air conditioner is running excessively. Our trained professionals can assist you with HVAC adjustments that will keep your humidification levels at optimum range for both good health and overall comfort. Whole house humidity control is easily achieved today with the latest in HVAC technology. An extra benefit is the energy savings that you will experience. When your living areas are properly humidified, you will actually be comfortable at slightly higher temperatures. By adding the proper equipment, you can turn your thermostat up a few degrees and save as much as 18% on your energy bill without sacrificing any comfort. If you are concerned about too much humidity in your home, we can do a professional audit to determine what your current humidification levels are and how proper adjustments can be made affordably. On the other hand, if your furniture seems to be drying out as much as your skin, we can show you ways to introduce controlled moisture into your home. Whether you are dealing with damp, musty smells, recurring allergy problems, or too much static electricity that could adversely affect your  electronic equipment, let our professionals help you control the humidity levels in your home. Your health and comfort are important to us. **Our goal is to help educate our customers about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems).  For more information about proper humidity control and other HVAC topics, download our free [Home Comfort Solutions Guide](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/download-the-home-comfort-solutions-guide.html).** **Rodenhiser Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning serves the Route 495/128 area of Massachusetts.
