High Humidity Indoors Despite a Working AC in Clayton
Clayton · August 2026 · Dexter, Nick & Jeorell · From our service records
What the customer reported
A Clayton homeowner reported that the humidity was high in the home and wanted to find out the reason.
What we found and did
The system was cooling properly, but it does not have a dehumidification function, so it only dehumidifies while it is running, and because the home is well insulated the system does not run enough to pull out the moisture. Dexter, Nick, and Jeorell inspected the roughly 4-5 year old system and checked to confirm the unit was cooling. They then explained to the homeowner how run time affects indoor humidity and why keeping the fan on will increase humidity.
