Controlling Humidity in Baltimore, Maryland :: Home Improvement ...

As a Baltimore resident, you know just how humid Maryland can be in the summer. And as they say, ?it is not the heat, it?s the humidity? that will really get to you.

Problems Resulting from High Humidity

1. Decreased Comfort: First and foremost, humid conditions are just uncomfortable.
2. Mold: High humidity levels cause mold growth in your home. Not only can mold damage the building materials of your home, but it can also be detrimental to your health.

Tips for Controlling Humidity

1. Air Conditioner / HVAC System: Your AC system is your first line of defense. Air conditioners remove humidity from the air during the cooling process.
2. HEPA Filter: Using a high efficiency filter, such as a HEPA filter, in your air conditioning system also helps reduce mold growth.
3. Houseplants: Believe it or not, houseplants can actually help control the humidity levels in your home. Plants also help remove other pollutants, improve indoor air quality, and provide oxygen.
4. Dehumidifiers: Perhaps the most obvious of our three suggestions, a dehumidifier works well at reducing humidity levels in small spaces, like basements.
