The Effects of Poor Humidity in Air Conditioned Rooms to Your Stuff at Home

Air conditioning in North Vancouver is a life saver during the sweltering summer months. But while you are enjoying the cool air provided by your efficient Air conditioning maintenance in North Vancouver, you could be inadvertently damaging some of your home essentials and furniture.
If your air conditioned room has fluctuating or poor levels of humidity, it can cause the air to dry up leading to the following issues:
  1. Uneven wooden furniture legs.
Have you noticed your wooden chair becoming wobbly lately? The lack of moisture in the air might cause wood grain to loosen up, which then leads to the faster deterioration of its components.
  1. Book pages become brittle.
Check your book collection. Are the pages brittle? Lack of moisture can wrinkle up those pages and zap it of its natural moisture content.
  1. Paint on artwork can crack.
Take a look at the paint on an artwork in your home. Is it also becoming brittle? You can tell if it’s becoming brittle by checking the paint and seeing cracking or chipping signs. This is true especially for oil type of paintings.
  1. Wine becomes stale and flat.
Wine collectors, beware of low humidity levels. Without enough moisture in the air, the cork sealing your wines can shrink and cause oxygen to seep inside. When wine gets exposed to oxygen, it becomes flat.
HVAC companies such as Pro Gas North Shore can also check your home’s humidity levels in addition to periodically checking your air conditioning system. They might advise you to install a humidifier if you don’t have it yet. Adding a humidifier will make sure the above-mentioned things will not happen in your home.
