Humidity

Why Tampa homes feel clammy

  • An oversized AC.It cools fast and shuts off before it pulls much moisture out.
  • The fan left on.Running the fan between cycles puts moisture from the coil back into the air.
  • Leaky ducts.Return leaks in the attic pull damp air straight into the system.

The number to watch

The EPA recommends keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally 30 to 50, to help prevent mold. A simple humidity meter tells you where your house sits.

FAQ

Common questions

Why does my house feel clammy even when it's cool?

Usually an oversized AC that shuts off before it removes much moisture, or the fan set to on instead of auto, which puts moisture from the coil back into the air.

What humidity should my house be?

The EPA recommends keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally between 30 and 50, to help prevent mold.

Do I need a whole-home dehumidifier?

If the AC is sized right and the house still runs above 60 percent, a whole-home dehumidifier can help, especially in homes that sit closed up for long stretches.
