Why are humidity levels too high with my Lifebreath ERV, causing condensation?
- CchardinJul 26, 2025
High humidity levels and condensation with your Lifebreath Fan can stem from several causes. Ensure your dehumidistat isn't set too high by setting it lower. If you have a hot tub or indoor pool, cover them when not in use, as the ERV may not be sized to handle the moisture load. Modify occupant habits to avoid hanging clothes to dry, storing wood inside, and ensure your clothes dryer is properly vented. Vent the crawl space, placing a vapor barrier on the floor of the crawl space. If condensation forms in spring and fall, try increasing the ERV speed.
