We just redid the a/c system in our condo.. new duct work and all- everything is brand new. We have a humidity meter, and i put it directly over the vents, b/c im trying to find out why my allergies are bad, and was advised to keep humidity down in my house. Our humidity ranges from 45-60 in the house, but the vents emit something different and Im trying to conclude if this is normal before we go investigate. The A/C is down in a crawl space, and it is somewhat damp. The Ductwork might need to be sealed up also (hubbie hasnt gotten to it yet).
When the A/C is "ON" and circulating- the humidity ranges from 60-65%.
When the system is on "Circulate" (which is a feature i really wanted to keep air running through our IQ Air hepa system) it is REALLY humid, registering around 75-80% (WET) on our meter.
Im guessing the coils are wet, and the air circ's over and brings moisure with it upstairs.
What, if anything, can we do about this?
System is American Standard 16 Seer w/ Air handelor.
