Here in SW Florida, we live in the tropics. It is by nature a humid environment. To find relief, especially in the summer months, it is important to keep your air conditioning and heating units in proper working order. Air conditioners control more than just the temperature. They control the humidity levels as well.
- Change your air filters. The number one thing you can do is to change your filters regularly. Stick a reminder on your calendar and let it do the work of remembering for you. If you don’t change your air filters it causes your unit to have to work harder and is more likely to incur wear and tear and eventually break down.
- Check your exhaust fans. Some homes have fans in the bath or kitchen. Surprisingly they can impact air flow. Make sure to turn them on when showering or cooking.
- Consider a dehumidifier. While it’s not always necessary, in some homes, it can help to lower the humidity level.
- Shorten your showers. The more steam you create during a shower the more moisture you will have in the air for your air conditioning unit to try and dissipate.
The Benefits of a Home with Ideal Humidity
Dehumidifying a house can help lower costs, reduce the damage that can happen over time to furniture and to the home itself, reduce the risk of mildew, mold, toxins, help those with allergies, and it can encourage less bacteria, viruses, and bugs to grow and live in the home.
