Relative Humidity

Relative humidity is expressed as a measure of the amount of water vapor the air contains as a percentage of the total amount it could contain at a specific temperature. If you think of air as a sponge for a moment, it can only hold a specific amount of water at a specific temperature. However, unlike a sponge, the total amount of moisture the air can hold changes as the temperature changes. As the air becomes warmer, it can hold a greater mass of moisture.

Tighter Houses Create Concern

Chris Craparo — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 12:35:58 -0600

Indoor air quality is a concern today as most newer homes are being built "tighter" to be more energy efficient. Existing structures have also been "tightened-up" with better insulation, weather-stripping, upgraded windows and high quality exterior doors. Unfortunately, making homes more energy efficient exacts and unexpected price. Indoor air quality suffers as the exchange of indoor and outdoor air is limited. Indoor air pollutants get trapped inside and can build up to harmful levels. These pollutants can range from dust to chemicals to radon.

Get Better Air Flow!

Remove More Humidity!

We have a replacement motor for your air handler (blower) that will push more air and pull out more moisture. It is so powerful, that we have to test the ductwork to make sure it can handle the air flow.
