AC Tips for Florida - Part 2

Previously, we began to discuss special considerations for your AC unit when living in the intense heat and humidity that come out of Florida. We discussed keeping track of your filters which are especially vulnerable to Florida’s humidity, as well as the option to invest in a smart thermostat. In this second part, we will continue discussing tips to ensure your AC unit operates at tip top shape for Florida homeowners!

Another tip is to make sure your outdoor unit is clean. The tropical environment can lead to leaves, other debris, and even mold to accumulate quickly around your outdoor unit. Regularly checking that area is important to prevent airflow restrictions and other damage. 

The Florida humidity is notorious for making heat feel ten times worse. What may help alleviate this is investing in a dehumidifier to work in conjunction to your AC unit. By just reducing the indoor humidity itself can make your home feel cooler and more comfortable without needing to play with the thermostat as much.
