Feeling Uncomfortable? The Three Signs for the Perfect Storm

Feeling uncomfortable in your own home? It's not just you. Many people struggle with a mix of heat, cold, and humidity that makes their living spaces less than ideal. Here are three signs that your home might be facing this perfect summer storm.

Uneven Temperatures  OVERLY Humid

Do you walk from one room to another and feel a noticeable temperature change? This  can feel like a sauna in one room or level of your home comparred to other rooms or even other floors of your home. 

High Humidity Levels

Humidity can make your home feel warmer in the summer and colder in the winter. If you notice condensation on windows or a musty smell, you might have a humidity problem.

High humidity can also lead to mold growth, which can cause health issues. Mold loves damp environments, and high humidity provides the perfect conditions for it to thrive.

MONITORING RESULTS SHOW THAT THE UNIT IS USING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE ENERGY THAN THE FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS, INDICATING A MALFUNCTION THAT IS CAUSING EXCESSIVE ENERGY USAGE. THE CAUSE WAS LOW REFRIGERANT LEVELS: WITHOUT SUFFICIENT REFRIGERANT, THE UNIT CAN'T COOL HEAREMOVERLY MOISTURE, LEADING TO WARM AND WET DISCHARGE.

Defective Appliance

This 70 pint dehumidifier (while being used to remove moisture from the air) was actually blowing 100º Water Vapor into the kitchen area despite the filter being maintained and reservoir bucket being emptied at least twice daily.

Poorly Exhausted Exhaust Devices

A DRYER IS NOT EFFECTIVELY VENTING TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOME -LOOK CLOSELY AND YOU WILL SEE NOT ONLY COMPRESSED VENTING BUT A MISALIGNMENT OF THE DUCTING CONNECTOR TO THE BACK OF THE DRYER. THIS IS A   M A J O R  SOURCE OF UNCONTROLLED MOISTURE.

Uneven temperatures and relative humidy levels will also stress your heating and cooling systems. They work harder to balance the temperature, leading to higher energy bills and more wear and tear.
