High indoor humidity
Canonical HVACentric knowledge for all questions on this topic.
DIRECT ANSWER
High humidity can involve outdoor-air infiltration, moisture sources, ventilation, drainage, equipment operation, airflow, controls, or equipment sizing. Start with a reliable humidity reading and look for water intrusion or condensation. A contractor should assess the building and system before recommending a dehumidifier, because moisture control is not only an equipment-selection question.
