Summertime is typically associated with fun activities like swimming, water balloon fights, family cookouts, and the beach. However, the summer months are usually when homeowners dread the prospect of needing the help of a central air conditioning repair technician because it always seems to happen during the hottest days of the year.

The worst part isn’t that you need the repair, but that most people miss the early warning signs that something is off until their AC unit stops working entirely. Humidity, for example, can be a simple indicator that something’s wrong with your HVAC system and that you should consider having a specialist take a look.

Here’s what you should know about the humidity in your home:

Your Air Conditioning Unit Might Be Too Big

As odd as it might be, having a larger air conditioning unit than what your home’s size calls for can actually be a factor that leads to higher humidity in your home. The reason for this is that your AC unit doesn’t remain on long enough to draw moisture from the air, which means the temperature might be dropping, but the humidity remains the same.

Your AC Unit Might Be Too Old

As your system ages, it doesn’t always operate at peak efficiency. After a few years, you might notice your home starts to feel sticky or developing damp patches on the walls and in other areas of the house, indicating heightened humidity.

Your Settings Might Be a Factor

Some people assume that they should run their fan setting frequently to help mitigate the amount of humidity in their home, but this often leads to increased humidity. The reason for this is that your fan ends up blowing moisture back into your home at a rate that your AC unit might not be able to handle.

What Can Be Done?

If your home has a humidity problem – or you just want to feel more comfortable – there are a few things you can do to help reduce the amount of moisture in your home’s air.

However, you should also get your AC unit inspected to check for potential repairs or maintenance needs. In some cases, the AC unit might just need a deep cleaning to get back to peak efficiency. Other times, you might need to replace it entirely.
