How to Increase Your Austin Home's Humidity

November 23, 2015

Your home's humidity plays a crucial role in your family's comfiness. As the weather changes, humidity levels fluctuate as well.

Dry air during cooler weather in Austin can make your throat and nose feel coarse. It can also put you at a increased risk for colds and other illnesses.

For the most comfort, your residence’s humidity levels should be between 35 and 50 percent.

Does your home’s air feel too dry in the winter or too moist in the summer? A whole-home humidifier from Strand Brothers Service Experts can make it better. We can help you choose the right option for your family during a free home comfort assessment.
