Cool Spots

Okay, so I have a question, and I need some help. We live in florida, in a pretty hot and humid part of florida, and recently we've been going through a pretty hot spell...

Any ways on making the cool spots cooler? and not more humid?

THanks

Re: Cool Spots?

The first thing you should look at is airflow, that's going to help alot if you are well ventilated.

Re: Cool Spots?

What is the ambient temperature of the room.
If the room itself is 84 the only thing to do is kick on the A/C

Re: Cool Spots?

If this is a seasonal issue that you will continue to have. You'll need to figure out a permanent solution. Perhaps a cooler room in the house away from the sun. Keep the drapes closed. I assume you don't have a basement you could move him to. Otherwise like said A/C.

Re: Cool Spots?

Yeah, i guess that we're just so used to it being hot in the house, we didn't notice that it was actually around the mid 80s....crazy
