If your room air conditioner doesn’t have an Econ or energy saver and the fan runs continuously, even if it’s cooler than what the thermostat is set to, you can force it to turn off using a smart plug and some type of temperature sensor. Echo dots 4 and 5 have a built it temperature sensor. Create a routine in Alexa to turn on the smart plug when it’s above a certain temperature and another routine to turn off below a temperature that’s a few degrees less. Make sure the difference in temperatures for off and on is enough so your AC runs at least 30 minutes per on cycle. Set your thermostat to the coldest setting and set it to low cool. This has worked wonders for me personally

Hey Teddy I’m in one of those high apartment complex buildings, I’m on the 2nd floor of a 4 story. It’s 35 degrees outside(as of January 26,) When I turn my thermostat off, My apartment will go up to 79-84 degrees. The humidity is 45% on the thermostat. But when I open my sliding glass door in only goes down about 5-8 degrees. When I open the front door, it goes down another 2 degrees. The front door leads into a hallway. And the hallway(indoor hallway) goes to a parking garage.

Very helpful and informative video. Thank you very much. I have a home with a finished basement and separate HVAC units for the first floor and basement level. I recently had to replace the first floor unit and purchased a Daiken Fit variable speed unit. It has a very sophisticated and expensive Smart Thermostat which includes a dehumidifying element. I also have an annual service contract on my HVAC system units and switched my contract to the company who sold and installed my Daiken unit. Their inspector recently performed the summer inspection of our home and advised me that our humidity levels are too high in both the first floor and basement levels. He tested both areas with a humidity tester and showed me the results which were between 50-60% on both levels. He told me that we dont have a problem yet but should consider a whole house dehumidifier which costs $4500. This home is 10 years old and has never had any indication of a possible mold problem. I am not willing to go to a whole house humidifier at this time. The technician turned on an element of our highly sophisticated ist floor thermostat which dehumidifies the first floor area as part of how it functions. Unfortunately, that has resulted in the average temp in our first floor being too COLD most of the time this summer. Watching your video you say that high humidity is in the area of 80% or above unless i misunderstood. I dont really think i have a humidity problem, but the tech also recommended i set the lower level thermostat to 72 degrees vs the 76 degrees I usually run it at, and I frequently just turn the downstairs thermostat OFF which the technician told me is a bad idea given my humidity level downstairs. Based on your video i dont think i have any humidity problem and i want to turn OFF the DEHUMIDIFY element of my new upstairs unit, or set the temperature at a higher level like 75 vs the current 73 the tech set it at. Does that sound like a good idea to you? We just cant tolerate how cold the new system makes our ist floor when set at 73. BTW since we bought the new Daiken unit our electric bills have gone down about $50 a month ! I am not familiar with portable dehumidifier testing gizmos. Thanks for that info as i will be buying and using one for each floor of our house to monitor our humidity. I am starting to think the tech was just trying to scare me into buying a $4500 whole house humdifier. They are a good company but i had another good one for 5 years and they never once mentioned our having too high humidity. I would really appreciate your thoughts about what i should do based on the info i have given you. I will definitely be subscribing to your videos going forward! Thanks again.

Fix it with AC if you don’t have AC crack the windows in every room and run a desk fan ceiling fan floor fan whatever you got 24/7. It may seem strange to keep a fan on 24/7 but the fans are helping move the air and the windows being open help the fans push the hot humid air out. Leave the windows open at night with the fans to bring in fresh air. The air moment is important you can also buy a humidity gauge that reads the moisture in the air 30% to 50% is ideal keep it between there. Lastly you can buy a dehumidifier and dry the air but those things can be annoying because you’ll have to constantly dump the water bin.
@ALLSTARGAMERSUNITED2 жыл бұрын
If you are using the cool mode on your AC during high humidity then change the mode to DRY. DRY mode still blows out cool air. DRY mode sucks in your humid air and then separates the moisture from the humid air and then blows out cool dry air in your house thus getting rid of your humidity. It's also known that using DRY mode instead of COOL mode reduces your power by around 50% depending on what you're charged for electricity. This is information for those that don't know about it.

Nice video. Don't think this was mentioned: Low refrigerant or restriction in expansion valve (or other metering device) on evaporator coil can cause evaporator coil temperature to fall below 32 resulting in icing of the coil. Blowing air across the coil in this situation results in humid air. I have had this happen to me in two different units. Both were 90's vintage (R22) , so can't answer to newer units, but expect could still be possible. Of course measuring low side pressure gives good idea of coil temperature...

I'm rather obsessed with keeping my indoor air climate controlled within 35 - 49% humidity and temperature at or below 68F (60 to 68 is good). How do people tolerate higher temp's and humidity? I think half the time they're not aware. Well, not good. That leads to mold, mildew, and ruined things. Don't store anything you want to keep in a structure that isn't climate controlled, especially electronics, photography equipment, and many other things.

I have a strange problem here in Delaware. I had up to 7 layers of roof on my house for years. Before my roof was replaced recently with a new EPDM with vapor barrier for "flat" roofs (but it has a pitch), humidity rarely reached 70% - but now over night in the summer, it regularly goes up to and over 75%. It is worrying, but I had the problem anyway; it was tough even with a dehumidifier and the A/C system to keep the humidity in the house at or below 60% even before the roof replacement. I can use a standalone dehumidifier for a time & get it down to 50% but within a half hour it's back up into the high 60s. I had an attic vent then & now. I'm not sure what to do. I've already paid the roofing company in full for the job. They suggested putting in a solar-powered attic fan because installing electricity in my attic is not feasible. I also have a door blower test scheduled for next month to see if they can find any other leaks. But my house was built in 1906; there's not much that can be done, probably. At least not without gutting the place and insulating it properly. Ran into any homes like mine, @Taddy Digest?

Here's a curveball for ya... what about after adding positive pressure ventilation for tight attic renovations? We need fresh air up there too! After spray foaming my attic roof decking (1925 Craftsman house) and sealing the ridge vent, attic humidity stays at or below 50% with no AC in the summer. Which is GREAT! But, no fresh air! Can't breathe! So I added an Air King QuFresh (basically ERV on the cheap like a positive-pressure bathroom exhaust). It pumps in fresh outdoor air whenever it is between 85-45 degrees and 55-25 humidity. Pretty neat trick. It's like a smart window that automatically opens and closes itself at the right time. Attic HVAC now keeps the air temp at 75 degrees and summer humidity seems to stay around 56% on average (short peaks at 62% and valleys at 48%). Seems like the only way to get total humidity control would be to switch to an ERV... but that's $$$$ and filters and maintenance. Doesn't seem worth it to me. Or add a dehumidifier to counteract the incoming moisture from the outside. So what's the best choice? Breathe stale air all the time at lower humidity? Or provide positive fresh airflow at the expense of more humidity? Always a balancing act!
@TaddyDigest3 жыл бұрын
I would simply add a small 6" or 8" vent with a electronic damper to the return side of the air conditioner and when the air conditioner comes on I would have it so it pulls in fresh air Only when the AC or heat is on Then I would simply get a dehumidifier and boom....issue solved.
@nicsamazingpinballchannel76883 жыл бұрын
@@TaddyDigest Ah, that makes sense, but the attic is handled by a minisplit... not a full air handler like downstairs. So it can't pull in fresh air when it runs. Hence the QuFresh doing the job of positive-pressure ventilation. Only issue is that my house uses radiant heat in winter, so no HVAC ventilation there either. Seems the only way I'm going to get enough fresh air is with the QuFresh.

Consequently, where the ducts penetrate under the addition, into the hole cut into the rim joist , there’s huge backpressure where air that should be going up into the addition is just leaking out. If ya go into the addition, those 2 vents where air should be coming out barely have a trickle. Any ideas how I can get that air into the addition? I was thinking of sealing the holes where the ducts enter the addition. Ya know , so the back pressure will be forced out through the vent ports instead of through the point of least resistance (its the lowest part).

Sometimes, humidity or dampness (water vapor) in the air can supply enough moisture for mold growth. Indoor relative humidity (RH) should be kept below 60 percent -- ideally between 30 percent and 50 percent, if possible. Low humidity may also discourage pests
