Reasons Why Condensation On Windows In Winter Happens

Home Humidity Levels Are Too High

Healthy home humidity levels in the winter are different than the summer.  As the outdoor temperatures drop, so should a home’s level of humidity.  For example, if it’s 10 degrees outside, the home humidity level for winter should be no more than 30%.
