Humidity Reduction Tips:

  • Use a Dehumidifier – Dehumidifiers are a great way to remove moisture from the air, especially in basements during the summer months.
  • Cook Carefully – Cook by using covered pots rather than letting the boiling water evaporate into the air.  You can also use an exhaust fan to help remove the humidity from the air after cooking.
  • Take Shorter Showers – Taking shower showers will help keep moisture out of the air. You can also open a window or turn on your exhaust fan after a hot shower to remove humidity from the air.
  • Update Your Home Insulation – Home insulation helps keep warm, humid summer air out of your home and cool conditioned air indoors.  By preventing air exchange, you can keep your home cool.

Payback Is Twice What You Predicted!
"They are all very cautious and conscientious of the property being insulated, are friendly and work fast. Their rates are right in line or lower than their competitors. What more can you ask for? Nice work guys, we have already had people asking why our old home doesn't feel so drafty anymore, and my payback is absolutely twice what you predicted. Bravo, GoodLife!"
