Managing Humidity in Your House

Humidity is a fact of life in Florida. Too much of it in your home creates discomfort, mold growth, and structural damage. Here’s how to manage it.

What Is the Right Humidity Level?

Indoor relative humidity should ideally be between 40% and 60%. Above 60%, mold and dust mites thrive. Below 40%, you may experience dry skin and respiratory irritation.

How Your AC Helps

Your AC system removes moisture from the air as part of the cooling process. But an oversized system cools too quickly before properly dehumidifying, leading to a cold, clammy feeling.
