Your air conditioner isn't just your best line of defense against summertime heat. It's also your number one tool for managing high humidity. The higher the humidity in your home, the hotter it will feel. Thus, causing you to turn the air down more and spend way more each month on electrical cost.
KEEP YOUR COIL CLEAN!
When your evaporator coil (indoor) is covered in dust and dirt, it can't remove all of the heat and humidity that it's designed to remove.
The solution? Change or clean your air filter per manufacturer instructions. It's that simple
Adjust your fan speed.
In hot, humid climates like ours, you want your air conditioner to move air at a rate at or near 350 CFM per ton. Many systems are set up to move air at a rate faster than that. For humidity removal, a faster rate is not ideal.
Check your refrigerant charge.
If the charge is too low, your AC will struggle to remove enough heat or humidity from your home to keep you comfortable. Eventually, this problem could morph into something worse: freezing of the coil or even compressor failure.
