Monitoring and controlling Indoor humidity is one of the most important aspects of our home watch service. When you are away from your Florida property indoor humidity can soar if not controlled and do thousands of dollars in damage. Mold, mildew and dust mites love hot indoor temperatures. So what are your options for controlling indoor humidity while you're away. You can hire a home watch service to check on your property weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. In addition, you could purchase an inexpensive indoor humidifier and set the humidity level to 50% and let it not only control indoor humidity, but save you $$$ on heating and cooling costs.
Our tests with the Media Cube 20-pint humidifier you see in this post were positive. Consumer Reports rates this humidifier as a recommended buy. The cost of running the humidifier is essentially the same as a 60-watt light bulb. It's whisper quiet and comes with a hose that can be run to a drain for constant operation. Our air conditioner barely ran at all while using the indoor dehumidifier. The indoor air felt comfortable and the humidity was controlled at 50%, where we set it. If you are planning on traveling, consider hiring Martin Home Watch to "keep watch while you're away." Comments are closed.
