Why is my home humid even with the AC running?

Common culprits include an oversized AC unit (short-cycling), clogged condensate drains, dirty air filters, or low refrigerant levels.

What is the ideal indoor humidity level?

For maximum comfort and mold prevention, aim to keep your indoor relative humidity between 45% and 55%.

Can high humidity cause mold?

Yes. Mold thrives in environments where relative humidity consistently exceeds 60%, and moisture is allowed to settle on surfaces.

Should I use a whole-home dehumidifier?

If your AC is sized correctly but your home still registers above 60% humidity during the summer, a whole-home dehumidifier is an excellent, energy-efficient solution.

How often should my HVAC system be maintained?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year, ideally in the spring, to ensure your system is prepared to handle both the heat and the humidity of a New York summer.
