High Humidity in our house Chris, No disrespect, but this is a true story. We purchased the house about 5 months ago. It is a brand new house that was on the market for 2 1/2 years because the market was so bad. Our original home inspector did not do a good job. After we bought the house, my...

Steve, We live in Bradenton, Fl. This is about 50 miles south of Tampa. The outside temperature is about 73 degrees and the humidity is about 85%. We know that our house needs to stay below 60% humidity. Before we had the bathroom vent fixed we were at 52%. We are feeling a lot of...

We have recently figured out the our bathroom exhaust fan has been blowing in, instead of out. We had this reversed(corrected). We have now seen an increase in our humidity within the house. We are at 60%. We believe that we have outside air coming in from somewhere, but we don't know where...

Our A/C unit was fixed today and the A/C guy said that we could turn on our unit right away. I said that shouldn't the mastic be allowed to set up? He said no, you can go ahead and turn on your A/C. I believe that Mastic should at least set up for 24 hours. Is this correct? Thanks, Doug

How much duct work do I need Mike, Thank you for your reply. The Lennox dealer installed the same size airhandler, but it has a variable speed motor. I was told that this also make a difference with regards to air flow. We'll see what happens when they finish today with the duct work...

The airhandler is located in the garage. The airhandler is suspended from the garage ceiling. It is condesating on the bottom and side; closest to the blower motor and supply plenum.

Our new airhandler is condensating just like the old on ethat was replaced. The A/C company has increased the plenum; the supply was lengthened and angled to eliviate turblance on the blower, etc. Does anyone have any ideas? It appears that the A/C company is just guessing. Thanks...

After having an authorized Lexxon dealer install a new airhandler, we are now being told we need more return air duct. Is there a calculation that needs to be performed based on house sq. ft, etc? Does anyone know? Thanks, Doug:confused:

Maybe try to buy PVC and extend the drip spout. This may work.

My wife and I recently purchased a new home. The airhandler unit, which is located in the garage, continues to have condensation on the unit. The Lennox rep. and the local dealer were at our house to try to figure out the problem. It was determined that we had an air flow issue. They said...
