When you live in the \u201cLand of Ten Thousand Lakes,\u201d you\u2019ll have plenty of humidity to deal with during the summer! We expect to get humid conditions here in the Twin Cities every summer season. Most people try to deal with humidity in their home by cranking up the air conditioner. But is this really the best method?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know quite a bit about cooling homes and balancing humidity in the Twin Cities, and we want to pass on some of this important knowledge to you today. This post will look into the effects of humidity on your comfort, your home, and most of all, your AC. We\u2019ll also look into whether your AC is enough on its own to counter the problems that come with humid weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You know what a hot and humid day feels like: it\u2019s sweaty and feels much hotter than the same temperature with drier conditions. The reason humidity does this is that it makes it harder for the human body to release heat through perspiration. Instead, excess heat remains trapped in the body, making the temperature feel hotter than it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
