For most of the year, the weather in Lakeland, Florida, is elegant; We appreciate red skies, sun plus modest temperature, then the winter season conditions rarely drop below fifty degrees.
However, there are a few months of the summer time where the heat plus humidity is honestly brutal.
The temperatures officially climb into the nineties plus can reach triple digits. While it’s necessary to run the air conditioning system for seven to eight straight months, excessive moisture is the largest problem. High humidity not only makes the condo feel warm plus sticky but encourages the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria plus all sorts of pathogens; It can aggravate symptoms of asthma, flu symptoms plus respiratory infection. Headaches, coughing, sneezing, difficulty sleeping plus lethargy are all consequences of too much moisture in the air. There is the risk of disfigurement to home furnishings. Hardwood furniture, floors, doors, moldings plus tunesal instruments can swell plus warp. For my home in Lakeland, a dehumidifier is a necessity. Portable dehumidifiers aren’t satisfactory. There’s simply too much moisture. I hired an Heating plus Air Conditioning business to install a whole-home dehumidifier into the cooling system. It extracts moisture as the air passes through, improving both comfort plus air quality, then because of the dehumidifier, I’m able to set a higher temperature on the thermostat plus lessen the workload of the air conditioning system. I spend less on utility bills plus can expect the cooling component to operate more reliably plus last longer. The dehumidifier operates almost silently plus requires only annual maintenance. I schedule professional repair for both the air conditioning system plus the dehumidifier in the Spring.
