Humidity

Will anything help control the humidity in my house?

Humidity is a problem in many areas. The best way to control excessive humidity is to have a system that runs longer at lower speeds. Variable speed air handling equipment runs at very low speeds, which keeps the air circulating against the cooling coil and removes much more moisture than conventional systems. At these low speeds, the variable speed motor uses much less electricity than conventional motors.

Our two-stage XL1800 outdoor cooling unit will operate in first stage most of the time, removing more moisture and creating greater comfort than a single-stage cooling unit. Our variable speed indoor blower units also have Comfort-R Enhanced Mode that allows the blower to slowly ramp up and slowly ramp down. This will wring-out extra moisture from the indoor air.
