In eastern states, areas near the ocean coast generally have higher humidity levels than is the case elsewhere. Residential air conditioning installation in Ocean City not only keeps homes cool but also reduces humidity. Technicians also can add a whole-house dehumidifier if the building has historically had trouble with high interior moisture levels.
Relative Humidity
This index combines the temperature with the air’s moisture level. It has the most impact on a person’s comfort. As moisture levels and temperatures rise, the environment feels less pleasant.
Perspiration
People tend to feel uncomfortable in excessive humidity because their perspiration does not evaporate quickly. Perspiration’s function is to regulate the body’s temperature, keeping it normal in a hot environment. Rapidly evaporating perspiration also helps a person feel cool.
In contrast, being sweaty is uncomfortable. The person feels too warm. Getting enough sleep may be difficult. Experts say that bedroom humidity should not exceed 50% for sleeping conditions.
Preventing Damage to Possessions
Ceiling and floor fans help with comfort somewhat. However, those devices don’t lower the room temperature or humidity. That’s an additional problem because excessive air moisture can gradually damage things in the home. For this reason alone, central air conditioning installation in Ocean City is a sensible investment.
The humidity might warp wood furnishings and books. It can cause mildew to develop on leather and vinyl shoes and accessories stored in closets. Mold growth in bathrooms and basements becomes more likely. This is especially problematic in finished basements.
