Is high humidity due to AC issues fixable?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be struggling with moisture, even though I clean the filters regularly. It's been going on for a few weeks now, and the humidity feels particularly high during rainy seasons. Should I consider hiring an air quality specialist or is there something more straightforward I can do?

Absolutely, high humidity can often be managed even if your AC unit seems to struggle. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, you're probably noticing this issue more during the rainy season which is typically from mid-November to April. In a place like ours, it's not uncommon for humidity levels to rise, but there are steps you can take and resources available.

First off, cleaning AC filters regularly is indeed important, but sometimes that might not be enough. A dirty filter can restrict airflow making the unit work harder and potentially leading to moisture issues. Make sure to check your unit’s drain lines as well; clogs in these can lead to water accumulation inside the system.

If you’ve tried basic fixes like checking filters, cleaning condensate pans, or even adjusting thermostat settings without much success, it might be time to consider a professional inspection. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and HVAC systems, particularly to ensure they are functioning properly. A certified specialist can diagnose issues more accurately.

In Dubai, you could give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance. Our team of experts will be able to provide a thorough evaluation of your system and suggest necessary repairs or maintenance.

Remember, high humidity isn’t just uncomfortable—it can also lead to mold growth which is definitely something you’d want to avoid. Regular checks and maintenance are key in keeping your indoor environment healthy and pleasant.

Also, consider using dehumidifiers if the AC struggles during peak times. These devices can help reduce moisture levels quickly when needed. Just ensure they’re placed away from direct sunlight or heat sources as this could impact their efficiency.

So, while some of these steps might seem simple, it’s always good to seek professional advice to make sure everything is running smoothly and safely in your home.
