Persistent humidity and condensation can affect condo comfort and contribute to moisture damage. Investigate ventilation, indoor moisture sources, leaks and HVAC operation before choosing a solution. Nearby water or a waterfront location alone does not establish the cause.

Proper Ventilation Is Your Solution To A Better Indoor Air Quality

After all, proper air ventilation is the solution to excessive indoor humidity. With 70 Farenhire or 21 Celcius, the ideal humidity level should be less than 35%.

To fight the humidity, here are the 6 ways to deal with the moisture in the Winter & Summer of 2022:

1. Open your windows for better air circulation during winter. Keep the balcony door & windows closed during summertime.
2. Keep the kitchen exhaust fan running while cooking.
3. Have your Fan Coil or Heat Pump drain pan checked once a year to ensure proper drainage.
4. Leave the fan on to have air circulating in your home. Please ensure you replace the condo HVAC air filter once every 4 months.
5. keep your bathroom fan ON after taking a shower. If your bathroom fan making noise or you see a sign of dust, you need to call for maintenance.
6. Clean the lint trap of your dryer vent. The dryer can casue more humidity if the lint trap isnt cleaned.
