Humidity in Home Too High
We like to keep the humidity in our (new) home in TV under 60%, preferably closer to 50%. We have a heat pump, and an ecobee 3 lite thermostat.
We found that in the summer, the humidity was fairly easy to control, most likely because the A/C had to run a lot to keep the house cool (and of course the A/C also serves a dehumidifying function).
However, now that winter is coming and the temperatures are dropping, the A/C does not run as often, sometimes not running all night (and I see next week low temps will be near 50, so I would expect the A/C may not run all day).
When the A/C does not run, the humidity sneaks back up, like to the low or mid-60% range.
My questions are:
-- Does anyone else out there have this problem?, and
-- What do you (can I) do about it?
Thanks!
