The excessive humidity in Lakeland, Florida is a problem for the majority of the year, but the temperature climbs into the nineties for three or four months, rises into the high eighties for another four months and at leasts gets into the seventies nearly every afternoon.
- The air conditioner is a necessity and runs almost regularly.
The electric bills can get quite high… Although the air conditioner helps to combat humidity, it’s not designed to remove moisture, when moisture levels are above the commanded amount, the hair feels hotter and stuffy. It can be tempting to lower the control component setting. This simply leads to the A/C working harder, using more energy and overcooling the living space without solving the problem, then high humidity levels can cause damage to home furnishing, such as warped wooden floors, doors and molding. It encourages the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria and provides the perfect environment for dust mites and cockroaches. The sticky conditions make sleeping difficult and diminishes productivity. Aggravated symptoms of flu symptoms and asthma can often be blamed on the humidity levels. I tried portable dehumidifiers. The reservoirs filled honestly abruptly. I needed to empty them frequently or they became a breeding ground for harmful allergens. I didn’t notice any improvement at all. I finally called an Heating and Air Conditioning dealer in Lakeland to learn more about a whole-home dehumidifier. The Heating and Air Conditioning supplier installed the dehumidifier in the air duct, where it pulls moisture of the air as it passes through. It maintains ideal humidity levels throughout the whole home. I have been able to raise the control component setting and yet the home feels perfectly cool and comfortable.
