Tips on Setting Humidity Levels
Basement or Crawl Space
Basements are often overridden with moisture. There is often a substantial amount of moisture coming
through the concrete. For a basement, it is recommended to keep moisture at least under 65%, although
the optimal room humidity would be between 40% - 50%.
Bedroom
For some people, having too much humidity in their bedroom is very uncomfortable. It also affects a lot of
people with asthma and allergies, some to the point where it decreases their quality of sleep. The healthy
humidity level for a bedroom is between 40% - 60%, although the recommended dehumidifier settings
should be between 40% - 50%.
Garage
More and more people are finishing their garages; many are even using them as workshops for various
projects. The ideal dehumidifier humidity setting for a garage is between 40% - 60%.
