The level of humidity in your home is a huge factor in HVAC performance and overall home comfort. Having the wrong level of humidity will negativity impact your air conditioning unit, energy bills, and personal comfort.

Overworked System
When humidity levels are too high it results in your air conditioner needing to work harder in order to keep your home cool. This rises a bigger issue for older or inefficient air conditioner units because they may not even be able to handle the job. If you are in need of a new air conditioner unit, check out the variety of options offered by Maple Air Heating and Cooling in the Greater Toronto Area.

Energy Bills
Incorrect humidity levels can cause the cooling effect of your air conditioner to cancel out. This means that your home will feel much hotter than it actually is, causing you to run your air conditioner at a lower temperature more often. The result: inefficiency and a high energy bill.

Red Flags
There are some obvious indicators that will point to your humidity levels being too high in your home. Some of these indicators are:

- Foggy or wet windows
- Damp or mildew smell
- Clammy air

If you become aware of these signs, make sure to contact Maple Air Heating and Cooling serving the Greater Toronto Area immediately to have your HVAC systems checked. 

Proper Humidity
The proper level of humidity for a home during the Canadian summer is around 35% to 45%. In addition to setting the proper levels, it is vital that your HVAC systems are working properly and constantly being maintained for best performance. If you are unsure of the state of your units, book an appointment a certified technician from Maple Air Heating and Cooling, located in Vaughan, to inspect their conditions.

A proper and efficiently working air conditioner will remove the correct amount of moisture and heat from your home, giving you a comfortable and cool home.
