Tips For Reducing The Humidity In Your Ocean Springs Home

Humidity can be a major problem in Ocean Springs homes, especially during the summer months. High humidity levels can make your home feel stuffy and uncomfortable, and can even lead to mold and mildew growth. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to reduce the humidity in your home and create a more comfortable living environment.

Use a Dehumidifier

One of the most effective ways to reduce humidity in your home is to use a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers work by removing excess moisture from the air, which can help to prevent mold and mildew growth and make your home feel more comfortable. When choosing a dehumidifier, look for one that is appropriately sized for the space you want to dehumidify. At Family Heating & Air, we can help you select the right dehumidifier for your needs and install it properly to ensure optimal performance.

Improve Ventilation

Another way to reduce humidity in your home is to improve ventilation. This can be done by opening windows and doors when weather permits, using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, and ensuring that your HVAC system is functioning properly. Proper ventilation can help to remove excess moisture from the air and prevent it from building up in your home.

Fix Leaks and Drips

Leaks and drips can also contribute to high humidity levels in your home. Be sure to fix any leaky faucets, pipes, or other sources of water as soon as possible. Even small leaks can add a significant amount of moisture to the air over time, so it’s important to address them promptly.

Use Fans

Fans can also help to reduce humidity in your home by circulating air and promoting evaporation. Consider using ceiling fans or portable fans in rooms where humidity tends to be a problem, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Maintain Your HVAC System

Your HVAC system plays a crucial role in controlling humidity levels in your home. Be sure to have your system serviced regularly by a qualified technician to ensure that it is functioning properly. At Family Heating & Air, we service and install all major brands of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment. Our service technicians are equipped to handle a wide variety of service-related calls, including kitchen coolers, freezers, computer room units, and all brands of residential and commercial heating and cooling systems. For your added convenience, we have a service technician on call 24 hours a day.

Use a Moisture Absorber

Moisture absorbers, such as silica gel packets or charcoal briquettes, can also help to reduce humidity in your home. These products work by absorbing excess moisture from the air, which can help to prevent mold and mildew growth and make your home feel more comfortable.

Avoid Moisture-Producing Activities

Finally, try to avoid moisture-producing activities in your home whenever possible. This may include:

Taking long, hot showers; consider taking shorter, cooler showers instead
Boiling water on the stovetop; use a lid to contain the steam
Drying clothes indoors; use a clothesline or dryer instead

By taking these steps, you can help to reduce the amount of moisture in the air and create a more comfortable living environment in your Ocean Springs home.

Justin was an awesome salesman and easy to work with. He was also able to exactly pinpoint my issue which no other company did. Tyler and Damon were excellent at installing my new unit. They were quick, didn’t leave a mess, and explained everything. I’d recommend this company to any one of my family and friends in a heartbeat.

Joe and Ian provided us with a very thorough air duct cleaning service today. They sealed around each & every vent, sanitizes them and cleaned up behind themselves. The team was terrific and the company continues to impress me after seven years of service to our home.

My heat broke and they were available to come out the same day. Justin arrived fast and called beforehand to let me know he was on his way. He was very professional, helpful and walked me through the whole process. I ended up replacing my entire unit that was breaking down anyways. The very next day Tyler and Damon were here early in the morning to install.
