A home with a humidity level between 30 and 50 per cent is a happy home. As the old adage goes. 

If you have too much humidity in your place, you can support the growth of dangerous mold. If you don’t have enough, you can be subjected to health issues, above and beyond dry and cracked skin. 

There are some obvious signs to determine where your home sits on the humidity scale. If you’re creating shocks when you touch things or people, your home is too dry. Get a humidifier. If there is condensation on the inside of your windows, your home is too humid. Get a dehumidifier.
