Humidity - too low?

[richo106]

Hi All

 

We have been living in our house almost a year now and not paid any attention to my humidity sensor until the other day i had a quick look and its 36%

 

Its a pretty well insulation and quite air tight house (some leaks), with MVHR

 

Is the humidity of 36% too low?

 

Over the last year (as expected) everything has started to dry out and hopefully finished now

 

Any feedback/information on this at all?

 

Many Thanks

It's on the low side, but still ok. Ours fluctuates between low/mid 30s to mid 50% depending on the weather. Have found we almost never need boost either.

 

If it sitting consistently at 36% and below I would considered dialing down the MVHR flow rate a little.  It's doing what it needs to. Also look at the way you boost, you may not need it?
