Curious to what you guys do in terms of humidity control automations in high humidity climates (such as Florida)? I have recently purchased a home in SWFL and have deployed automation technology to monitor said premise. Watching humidity levels closely, but curious what others do. Thanks in advance!
0.) What humidity level do you consider excessive in the house, and garage? I have noticed that the garage temp and humidity levels are significantly higher in the garage.
1.) Do you use dehumidifiers, and if so, what humidity setting do you have them set at?
2.) Obviously, you use air conditioners. What temperature setting do you have them set at?
3.) Do you run additional fans to circulate the air?
4.) Do you have any procedures or automations to extricate the humid air after a shower?
5.) Most Floridians like cooler homes. The previous owner had the home at 74 which to me seems too cold. BUT, in contrast to humidity control one would think that it is advantageous to kick in the air conditioner earlier to reduce humidity. Right now have it set at 78, and contemplating lowering the value to 74 or 76.
6.) Do you have any automation implemented to detect when drain from air handler is clogged?
7.) Do you monitor your attic temperature/humidity levels? Any special considerations or thoughts in terms of attic automations?
Thanks!
