Moisture Control

Why Attic Ventilation Matters for a More Energy-Efficient Home Attic ventilation is the intentional movement of outdoor air through the attic using balanced intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge or gable. The aim is not to blow cold air into the house, but to purge excess heat in summer and carry off moisture in winter so the attic stays dry and stable. Air sealing and attic-floor insulat ...

Why Proper Insulation Matters for Year Round Home Comfort Proper insulation is a foundational element of a comfortable, efficient home. It slows the movement of heat through the building, so rooms stay near the thermostat setting in January and July. Think of it as a lid that keeps heat where it belongs. By resisting heat flow in walls, attics, floors, and ducts, insulation reduces hot and cold sp ...

Humidifiers vs Dehumidifiers: Managing Indoor Comfort with HVAC Getting indoor humidity right boosts comfort, protects indoor air quality, and helps HVAC run efficiently. Think of moisture as the second dial next to temperature, both should be in balance for the space to feel right. Humidifiers add moisture when air is too dry, dehumidifiers remove excess moisture when levels creep up. This sectio ...

Can Your Air Conditioning System Effectively Control Building Humidity? Central air conditioners do remove moisture whenever they cool, because warm indoor air passes over a cold evaporator coil and water condenses and drains away. Dehumidification is a byproduct of cooling, not a guarantee of steady humidity control. Keeping indoor relative humidity in the comfort and mold control range, roughly ...
