November 23, 2015

Your home's humidity plays a critical role in your family's coziness. As the temperatures change, humidity levels shift as well.

Dry air during colder weather in Edmonton can make your throat and nose feel scratchy. It can also put you at a greater risk for colds and other sicknesses.

For greatest comfort, your residence’s humidity levels should be between 35 and 50 percent.
