Florida Humidity and AC Efficiency
Florida's high humidity doesn't just make you uncomfortable — it makes your AC work harder.
How Humidity Affects Your AC
- Your AC must remove moisture AND cool air simultaneously
- High humidity makes 78°F feel like 85°F
- Oversized systems cool too fast without removing enough moisture
Tips to Combat Humidity
- Set fan to AUTO, not ON — constant fan blowing redistributes moisture
- Use a dehumidifier — takes the moisture load off your AC
- Seal air leaks — prevent humid outdoor air from entering
- Maintain your system — dirty coils can't dehumidify effectively
- Right-size your system — oversized units short-cycle and skip dehumidification
