Here in the south, it sure does get humid! Unfortunately, that means we feel warmer than we should due to the moisture in the air. In order to get your air conditioner to dehumidify the air within your home to a tolerable level, you’d likely have to run it for a good while. Luckily there are less expensive options!
If the humidity in your home is extremely high, you may want to have a certified HVAC technician inspect your system to make sure it isn’t over sized. Your air conditioner acts as a natural dehumidifier when sized properly. When a system is over sized, it runs for less time which means it doesn’t have as long to remove the humidity from the air. That’s why in some homes you feel more cold and clammy.
If the above isn’t the issue, one of our fantastic installers can come out to your home and install a whole house dehumidifier. Once your home has less moisture in the air, you’ll feel cooler and a higher temperature. By setting your thermostat to a higher temperature, you will be saving money and energy since your air conditioner will have to run less. How exciting is that!?
