Damp & Humid Homes: Causes, Quick Fixes, and When to Hire a Pro - With HVAC Expert David Richardson

David Richardson is an HVAC performance expert and the VP of Training at National Comfort Institute. @HighPerformanceHVAC

David and Eric explain the most likely causes for high humidity inside homes in the summertime, and what you can do to easily reduce the humidity inside your own home.

Some humidity problems aren't easy to fix, however, and the discussion explains when you should call in contractors for help, and what types of work those contractors should be doing.

Key Takeaways:

👊🏼 Humidity issues can often be traced back to HVAC settings
👊🏼 Duct leakage can significantly affect indoor air quality, humidity, and comfort
👊🏼 Newer HVAC equipment may not remove moisture as effectively as older models
👊🏼 Proper installation and commissioning of HVAC systems is crucial for performance
👊🏼 Advanced testing may be necessary to diagnose complex humidity problems
