Low Humidity Could be Ruining These Areas of Your Home

Low Humidity Could be Ruining These Areas of Your Home 617.jpg

A lot of humidity can be a terrible thing, especially for hairdos, make-up, and even breathing. But a deficiency of humidity in your home may actually harm some features of your home’s interior. Learn about these few things you may have in your home that insufficient humidity can damage over time.

Wooden Floors and Furniture

When humidity levels rise and fall it causes wood to bloat and shrink, which might cause cracks and fragility in wood furniture. The bloating and shrinking also adds to warping or crevices in wood flooring.

Books

Absolutely – books necessitate moisture to avoid the pages from ending up dry and brittle. The lack of moisture can also result in the ink flaking and the covers warping. On the other hand, excessive moisture could result in the book pages sticking together permanently, discoloration, and potentially mold.

Electronics

Low humidity generates static electricity which can disturb the internal components of electronic equipment, such as your LCD TV, laptop, or even your beloved PlayStation.

Collections

Whether you are a collector of portraits or stamps and photos, make sure your home’s humidity is well-balanced year-round. The up and down levels of humidity could cause postage stamps to turn brittle and discolored and can even curl the corners on your pictures. Low humidity can also make the paint used to make portraits brittle or cause it to crack.

Hobbies

Do you collect win? Or play the piano? Humidity matters to you, too. A lack of humidity can cause the cork in a good bottle of wine to split or shrink, potentially damaging your vino. Insufficient humidity may also cause pianos, guitars, and other fine instruments to be out-of-tune or result in cracks in the wood.

Want to know if your home has the correct balance of humidity? Call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning today for a no-charge in-home comfort analysis and make sure your air isn’t harming your valuable home.
