Understanding the Impact of Humidity on
Cooling Equipment

Humidity is a constant challenge in Parkland, making equipment work harder to maintain comfort. Understanding its effects can guide better equipment care and servicing.

• Check evaporator coils – High moisture can cause buildup that affects efficiency and airflow.
• Assess drainage and condensate lines – Blocked lines can lead to water damage and reduced equipment efficiency.
• Evaluate system run times – Longer run times due to humidity can point to equipment strain or miscalibration.
• Adjust thermostat settings – Proper settings balance cooling and dehumidification for consistent comfort.
• Review equipment sizing – Oversized or undersized units struggle with moisture and can affect overall performance.

Addressing humidity-related concerns improves equipment reliability and comfort. This approach also reduces long term strain and the risk of costly repairs throughout the Parkland area.
