Why Humidity Balance Matters

Humidity that’s too high can lead to condensation, mold, and poor air quality, while air that’s too dry can cause irritation and static issues. In Central Texas, maintaining balanced humidity often requires more than just running the air conditioner.

Radiant evaluates indoor humidity levels and designs solutions that keep homes comfortable year-round, not just during peak cooling season.
