Getting a handle on humidity control in Orlando, FL, can feel like a game you just aren’t meant to win. The stickiness combined with the heat can make the outside world unbearable, but your HVAC has a harder time with it than you realize.
Moisture-rich air feels much warmer to the human body and to a thermostat. That means your HVAC is accounting for an additional three or more degrees of cooling effort just from the damp air. It has an effect on your equipment, but you can take steps to extend its lifespan so it keeps you cooler for longer.
