High humidity inside your house can be uncomfortable. Worse yet, it can pose a threat to your home's structure and surfaces. Help conquer it with these tips. #GoodNeighbor

How to reduce and control humidity:
• Set the fan to automatic. (Keeping it in the "on" position re-humidifies the space by blowing air over a wet coil when the condenser cycles off.)
• Invest in a unit with a variable-speed air handler.
• Consider installing a whole-house dehumidifier.
• Don't automatically lower the thermostat. Turning down the thermostat to reduce humidity can be a sign of an oversized air conditioning system. Smart thermostats can be part of a humidity strategy.

Ways to cut excess humidity:
• Install vent fans in kitchens and bathrooms.
• Run a dehumidifier.
• Cover dirt floors in crawl spaces with a plastic vapor barrier.
• Seal air and duct leaks.
• Select houseplants that absorb moisture from the air, like Boston ferns.
• Keep air conditioning drip pans and drain lines clean and unobstructed.
• Avoid activities that add moisture to the air on humid days, such as taking hot showers and boiling water on the stove.
• Take measures outside. Keep gutters and downspouts clean, extending downspouts further from the house, watering plants only when needed and sloping soil away from foundations to keep water from pooling.
