What is the ideal humidity level for a home in Calgary?
The recommended range is 40–60% relative humidity, indoors and year-round — same in Calgary as anywhere else. Below 30% the air is too dry, above 65% mold appears.
Which dehumidifier is best in Calgary?
For a 40 m² room a 20 L/day dehumidifier is enough. For a wet basement pick 25–30 L/day with a permanent drainage hose.
How to prevent mold?
Ventilate 10 min every morning, keep humidity under 60%, insulate cold walls and never dry laundry indoors without a dehumidifier.
