Temperature plays a direct role in moisture control and energy efficiency. In attics, high temperatures can damage insulation and roofing materials, while in crawl spaces, fluctuating temperatures can cause condensation on surfaces. Managing temperature helps prevent mold, protect building materials, and lower energy costs. ATMOX systems monitor dew point, temperature and humidity to make smart decisions about when to run fans or dehumidifiers. In attics, this reduces heat buildup that contributes to ice dams and high cooling bills. In crawl spaces, it ventilates to prevent moisture issues. Keeping temperature stable and controlled supports the overall health of your home and ensures other systems like HVAC and insulation work effectively.
Crawl space moisture control often begins with a single number: relative humidity (RH). Many homeowners look at a weather app, see high humidity, and assume outdoor air will always increase moisture in a crawl space. Others believe a moderate humidity reading means...
There are three improvements to your attic space that will help reduce attic heat and moisture: sealing, insulating, and ventilating. Paying a little attention to your attic can help you avoid issues that arise from excessive heat and moisture such as mold and...
Summer heat can be relentless especially in your attic. With attic temperatures soaring up to 150°F in the summer months, your attic can quickly become a hidden threat to your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and even structural integrity. While it might be out...
Climate change is a pressing global issue with far-reaching consequences. Its impact on weather pattern changes is becoming increasingly evident across the United States. One notable effect is the increase in heavy rainfall events and flooding incidents in many...
How effective is your dehumidifier in winter? The answer probably depends on when and where you are using it. Dehumidifiers used in a crawl space are an effective tool in combatting moisture. They are often an integral part of your crawl space moisture control...
Why should I ventilate my attic? Proper attic ventilation works to decrease heat and moisture within your attic space. Why should you care about heat and moisture? Attic heat and moisture can lead to potential damage to your home and any items that are housed in...
ATMOX focuses on a dew point comparison - not relative humidity. How do you explain dew point vs humidity?
