How To Balance Humidity Levels With Your HVAC System

Home / Blog / How To Balance Humidity Levels With Your HVAC System

Floridians, whether natives or transplants are well aware of the state’s brutal summer heat and high humidity. This humid summertime air can enter your home through cracks, doorways, crawlspaces, or poorly sealed windows. Once inside, it can be difficult to get rid of.

When not addressed, high humidity levels can make your home feel sweltering, muggy, and uncomfortable. In some cases, they can even lead to mold and mildew growth!

At Cook’s Air Conditioning & Heating Specialists, our professional HVAC technicians are trained to handle this issue. Through careful installation, thorough preventative HVAC maintenance, and quality repairs, we can have your home feeling cooler in no time.

Invest In A Dehumidifier

Our whole-house dehumidifiers are compatible with most standard HVAC systems.

One advantage of a dehumidifier is that it can help you save money on your utility bills! By removing excess moisture, dehumidifiers can cause your home to feel colder – meaning that you are less likely to adjust your thermostat.

Use Your Exhaust Fans

It is crucial that you properly maintain the exhaust fans in your bathroom and kitchen. These fans circulate and ventilate the air in these rooms. As such, whenever you are taking a hot shower or steaming some vegetables, it is always wise to turn these fans on and allow them to vent the hot, humid air to outside of your home. By depositing moist air outside, you can avoid mold growth and unpleasant odors.

Clean Your Condenser Coils

Condenser coils can disrupt your heating and cooling system’s heat transfer process. Subsequently, this can cause your HVAC to struggle to keep consistent temperatures and humidity levels.

Regularly Change Air Filters

HVAC filters can accumulate dust, dirt, allergens, and pollutants. These contaminants can reduce efficiency and make it difficult to regulate heat and humidity. The particles that are not filtered effectively bypass the filter and begin to coat the condenser coils.

It is recommended to replace your air filters every three months to avoid this problem. Our HVAC contractors can change your air conditioner’s filters for you and ensure that your system remains as clean and clear as possible.
