It's too high. My thermostat is always set on 78 degrees, and my indoor humidity rarely exceeds 55 percent. Today, it is 44 percent, and it has ranged from 41 to 45 percent during the past 24 hours. And, I don't use any humidity control. I would have it checked by an HVAC company, but you may want to remeasure the humidity with another measuring device first. Is there a window or door opened, or do you have a broken window? Do you have a leak in the house with standing water? Those are some things that could cause high humidity.
