Just when the weather seems to be getting nice, Wisconsin is struck by the heavy humidity of summer. When the hot, humid air seeps in, your house gets stuffy.
You know the feeling: the air is muggy, your skin is clammy, and you can’t tell where that musty, mildew smell is coming from.
The humidity may cause condensation on the walls and floors, allowing harmful bacteria and mold to grow. Humidity tends to be especially high in basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
In many cases, an efficient air conditioning system is enough to keep your home at a comfortable and safe humidity level.
Many ACs have a setting for moisture removal. The evaporator coil causes the water vapor in the air to condense and the moisture is collected and drained outside. To help keep your air conditioner running efficiently and reducing humidity, clean or replace the air filters at least once a month.
