🔧 TIP TUESDAY: Keep Florida Humidity Outside Where It Belongs 💧
Your thermostat might say 74°, but if the humidity inside your home is too high, it can still feel warm, sticky, and uncomfortable.
Here are a few simple things you can do to help control indoor humidity during Florida’s rainy season:
✅ Keep doors and windows closed when your AC is running. Every time humid outdoor air enters the home, your system has to remove that extra moisture.
✅ Use bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans when showering or cooking, but turn them off when you’re finished so they don’t continuously pull humid outdoor air into the home.
✅ Change your air filter regularly. Restricted airflow can affect your system’s ability to cool and remove moisture properly.
✅ Keep your thermostat fan set to AUTO. Leaving the fan set to ON can sometimes blow moisture left on the evaporator coil back into the home between cooling cycles.
✅ Check your indoor humidity. During Florida's humid months, keeping relative humidity around 40–60% is a reasonable target, with many homes feeling more comfortable closer to the middle of that range.
And if your home consistently stays above 60% humidity even while the AC is running, it may be worth having the system checked. There could be an airflow, equipment, ductwork, or other moisture-related issue that needs attention.
Remember: Your AC has two jobs, cool the air AND remove moisture. ❄️💧
Stay cool and comfortable, Southwest Florida!
