What is the recommended indoor humidity level for my home?
A good range is between 30% and 60% relative humidity. You can determine humidity levels with a relative humidity sensor typically referred to as a hygrometer or psychrometer. This level of humidity minimizes the indoor growth of allergenic or pathogenic organisms such as dust mites and molds. A wider range of humidity levels, from a low of 25% to a high of about 80%, can be acceptable in terms of thermal comfort (your comfort level) depending on the type of clothing worn and the level of physical activity.
