Best Practices for HVAC Maintenance to Control Humidity

Regular HVAC maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and ensures it removes moisture as it should.

Best Practices:

  • Schedule HVAC checkups at least twice a year—before summer and winter seasons
  • Replace filters regularly to ensure optimal airflow
  • Check for condensation on or around HVAC equipment, which could indicate drainage problems or high humidity
  • Clean condensate drain lines to prevent backups and mold growth in the drain pan
  • Ask your HVAC professional about adding a whole-home dehumidifier or fine-tuning settings for better moisture control

When your HVAC system is set up and maintained properly, it becomes your strongest ally in the fight against indoor humidity.
