Cold Humidity Part 2

Well again no responses to look at some issues out there. Come on folks lets get some interaction here.
Anyway I'll go over some items I have ran across. Metal ducting under house in crawl space. No insulation. What happens? Here are some scenarios: Crawl space is well insulated, well ventilated......hot summer day the air in crawl space will rise with ambient temperature....the humidity level is high... air in ducting from AC system is cool.... condensation forms inside and outside of the metal ducting. On the outside of ducts it "rains", on the inside...there is humidity being put back into airflow but a cooler temperature. Inside the building the temperature is cooling down but the humidity level is not being lowered much.  Next time a solution. Send us your issue.

"Cold Humidity" Part 1

Well no one responded to last week's post, so I guess I don't have anyone reading this but me. Well I'm going to give you content anyway.
Pay attention to the "feel" of the air during this air conditioning season. Does it feel cool but still "clammy", is there cooling but then warm spots in your building? Is there a persistent moisture odor?
I will discuss some these things next week. Check out your system, dirty blower? Dirty coil? Water sitting in condensate pan? Metal ducts not insulated?
Send me your issue, let us diagnose it here.
See you next week.
