the vent in my bathroom ceiling continually has condensation on it to the point that it drips....i know this is an issue of temperature...(i live in florida so my a/c runs a lot)....i only have a small vent window above the shower and no fan in there.....now i am noticing mildew around the vent....how can i prevent the condensation?....it is the only vent in the house that does this and it is not the master bath....i am concerned with additional issues occuring with the a/c system such as mildew in the ducts and this circulating through the entire house...can this potentially be a problem for me?

Sounds like you probably have older ductwork that probably lies on the atttic floor. You may need to uprade and the new ductwork will have more insulation and will hang from the rafters. This will usually solve the condensation problems.

The best you can do to prevent the condensation is to make sure the boot for that register in the attic is properly insulated. For more on indoor air quality go to www.hvac-for-beginners.com
