Sometimes, humidity or dampness (water vapor) in the air can supply enough moisture for mold growth. Indoor relative humidity (RH) should be kept below 60 percent -- ideally between 30 percent and 50 percent, if possible. Low humidity may also discourage pests (such as cockroaches) and dust mites.
The relative humidity for an indoor environment should remain at most 60 percent; however, 50 or lower is ideal, according to HVAClean. Humidity levels higher than 60 cause mold to grow inside air ducts.Mold growth potentially leads to respiratory problems and allergies. Running a thermostat constantly in the On position is hard on cooling units. Freon gas cools the evaporator, but with a consistent flow of air the coils are unable to stay cool.umidity levels higher than 60 cause mold to grow inside air ducts.
