As the humid season rolls in, many homeowners notice their air conditioners working overtime.

Or, we might start regretting that skipped maintenance appointment that really should have been done during the springtime. What homeowners don’t think about too often, however, is who they’re paying to do these valuable services. 
It’s kind of impossible to live in Florida and not be inundated with tons of moisture in the air. When our northern neighbors use the term “muggy,” they’re usually referring to the climate that we experience for most of the year. It’s not crazy to think that humidity can be a real problem in the way of achieving efficiency and comfort.
