Is the Air Dry in Your Home?

Are you struggling with dry air in your home? There could be several reasons why your home is suffering from low humidity – some more obvious than others.Read on to learn a couple reasons why you might be experiencing dry air in your home in order to learn the solutions!
Air Leaks Indoors
If your home is poorly insulated and outdoor air can find its way in, your home is the perfect environment for dry air. Not only will fixing the insulation help eliminate dry air from entering your home, but it will also help you keep your energy costs down.
A Leak in the Ductwork
If there is a leak in your return air ducts, your furnace will draw in unconditioned air and push it into the ventilation system. This causes the pressure to increase inside your house and will allow conditioned air to escape from your house.
If you think your air ducts are leaking, it’s best to have an HVAC professional come out and seal the leaks as these leaks can eventually cause more harm than just dry air.
