The silent threat of humidity in an empty home

In Florida, an air conditioner is not just for comfort. It is the main defense against humidity, and humidity is what quietly damages an unoccupied home.

What high humidity does

Above roughly sixty percent indoor humidity, mold finds a foothold, wood swells, and musty odors settle into fabric and finishes. It does not take long, and it is expensive to reverse once it takes hold.

Why an empty house is at risk

When no one is home, a tripped breaker or a failed unit can go unnoticed for weeks. By the time anyone visits, the damage is done. Regular checks, and a humidity reading in every report, keep that from happening.
