You can control humidity in your house by using a whole-home dehumidifier, running your AC system, improving ventilation, and sealing leaks. Professional HVAC solutions provide the most effective and long-term control.
A humidity control is a system or device that regulates the amount of moisture in your home’s air. It helps keep indoor humidity in a healthy range to prevent mold, protect furniture, and improve comfort.
Yes, 70% humidity is too high. Levels above 60% can cause mold, dust mites, and other air quality issues. Ideally, indoor humidity should be kept between 40% and 50%.
For comfort and health, set your humidity control between 40% and 50%. This range helps prevent mold growth and keeps your home comfortable year-round.
Yes, dehumidifiers effectively remove excess moisture from the air. Whole-home systems provide the best results, but portable units can help control humidity in smaller rooms.
Signs include condensation on windows, musty odors, mold growth, sticky air, and wood or paint warping. These are strong indicators that you need humidity control.
Causes include poor ventilation, AC issues, water leaks, or Florida’s naturally high outdoor humidity. A professional HVAC inspection can find the source and recommend solutions.
You can use your AC, improve ventilation with fans, keep windows closed on humid days, and use moisture-absorbing products like DampRid.
A fan improves airflow but does not remove moisture. It can make a room feel cooler but won’t actually reduce humidity levels.
Mold can grow at humidity levels above 60%, especially in dark or poorly ventilated spaces. Keeping your home under 50% humidity helps prevent growth.
Yes, air conditioning naturally removes moisture as it cools the air. However, if your AC is oversized or not working properly, it may not dehumidify effectively.
Use a dehumidifier, run your AC, increase ventilation, or use moisture-absorbing products. Whole-home dehumidifiers are the most effective solution.
It depends on your home’s conditions. Many Florida homeowners run dehumidifiers daily, especially during summer months when humidity is highest.
It depends on your needs. In Florida, a dehumidifier is usually better because homes face more problems with excess moisture than dry air.
The best humidity for sleep is around 40–50%. This range helps you breathe easier and prevents waking up congested or uncomfortable.
Signs include musty smells, mold spots, condensation, allergy flare-ups, and sticky or clammy air.
On average, running a standard dehumidifier costs about $1–$3 per day depending on the size, energy efficiency, and electricity rates.
Tampa Bay averages 75-85% relative humidity outdoors from May through October. When your AC is keeping the temperature at 74 degrees but the indoor humidity reads 65% or higher, the air feels clammy, your hardwood floors are expanding, and mold is actively growing on surfaces you cannot see. A whole-home dehumidifier integrated with your HVAC system controls indoor humidity independently of temperature -- pulling moisture from the air even when the AC does not need to run for cooling. Home Therapist installs whole-home dehumidifier systems throughout Tampa Bay. FREE assessment on every call.
A central AC system dehumidifies as a byproduct of cooling -- the evaporator coil condenses moisture from the air as it lowers the air temperature. But when Tampa outdoor temperatures are 85-95 degrees F with 80% humidity, the AC must run for very long cycles to dehumidify the air to the 50% indoor target. During mild weather (72-80 degrees F outdoor, common in April-May and October-November), the AC does not run long enough to dehumidify adequately -- it reaches the temperature setpoint and shuts off, leaving indoor humidity at 60-70% even though the temperature is comfortable. A standalone whole-home dehumidifier runs independently on a humidity sensor, pulling moisture whenever needed regardless of temperature.
Hillsborough County homes with slab-on-grade construction, stucco exteriors, and Florida-insulated attics create conditions where humidity above 60% RH drives mold growth into wall cavities, behind kitchen cabinets, and under sinks -- areas where the homeowner does not see growth until it is advanced. The EPA recommends maintaining indoor relative humidity at 30-50% to prevent mold and dust mite activity. Tampa homes with indoor humidity consistently at 65-70% are at active mold risk even without any plumbing leak. A whole-home dehumidifier that maintains 50% RH eliminates this risk entirely.
A portable dehumidifier removes moisture from one room and requires you to empty the tank or run a drain hose. It does not address moisture load in other rooms, the attic, or the duct system. A whole-home dehumidifier (Aprilaire or Santa Fe brand) installed in or near the air handler removes 70-130 pints of moisture per day from the entire house via the existing duct system. It connects to a condensate drain line and operates automatically on a humidistat -- no tank emptying, no manual operation, no room-to-room coverage gaps.

As an engineer/fabricator/assembler, I have high standards from my contractors. This guy Sam, he fulfilled all my requests and installation needs. He took pride of his work, and left me with a smile. Price was fair and the time for the installation was fast; I didn’t waste..
Aprilaire dehumidifiers are widely used in Tampa and integrate cleanly with most existing forced-air HVAC systems. The Aprilaire 1850 removes 95 pints per day and is appropriate for homes up to 2,200 square feet. The Aprilaire 1870 removes 130 pints per day for larger homes. Santa Fe dehumidifiers are engineered for high-moisture environments like Florida and feature particularly robust construction for continuous operation in hot, humid conditions. The Santa Fe Advance 90 removes 90 pints per day and the Santa Fe Force removes 155 pints per day for larger or high-moisture-load homes. Both brands are excellent -- we install whichever performs best for your home's specific moisture load and HVAC configuration.
The CDC and EPA both cite 60% RH as the threshold above which mold growth accelerates rapidly on organic surfaces (drywall, wood framing, carpet backing). In a Tampa home where indoor humidity sits at 65-70% during mild-weather shoulder seasons, surfaces are continuously in the active growth zone. You may not smell mold until a colony is well established. A whole-home dehumidifier maintaining 50% RH eliminates this risk without requiring any action from you once installed.

Yes, 70% indoor relative humidity is too high. ASHRAE recommends keeping indoor humidity between 30% and 50% for comfort and air quality. In Tampa's climate, levels above 60% promote dust mites, mold growth, and wood damage. A whole-home dehumidifier integrated with your HVAC system is the most reliable fix.
The most effective options are a whole-home dehumidifier ducted into your HVAC system, your central air conditioner running in cooling mode, or a portable dehumidifier for a single room. In Tampa Bay's high-humidity environment, a whole-home unit is typically recommended because it runs independently of cooling demand and maintains consistent indoor moisture levels year-round.
Mold growth is unlikely at 50% relative humidity but becomes increasingly possible above 60%. Most mold species require sustained humidity above 70% combined with an organic surface to colonize. Keeping indoor humidity at or below 50% is the standard target to prevent mold, musty odors, and poor indoor air quality in Tampa homes.
Yes, a dehumidifier can draw residual moisture out of drywall after a leak or flood, provided the drywall has not already developed mold or structural damage. The process works best when the dehumidifier runs continuously in a closed space. Severely saturated or mold-affected drywall typically requires professional remediation before dehumidification alone is sufficient. Home Therapist offers free diagnosis to assess your situation. Call (813) 343-2212.
