Aprilaire Dehumidifier Maintenance DIY
Making sure you’re Aprilaire dehumidifier is maintained properly is crucial to insuring your basement, crawl space and other parts of your living space keep the low humidity required to minimize mold growth throughout your home.
Best Humidity Range
Depending on what organization you talk to the rule of thumb is to keep relative humidity below 60% year-round. We recommend 55% but not to go lower than 45%. Believe it or not having humidity too low can also damage your home plus could cause nosebleeds in the occupants. If you have ever been in a really dry climate you understand what having the air to dry can do.
