Invest in a Dehumidifier

Long Island's humid summers can make your home feel like a sauna. Combat excessive moisture by installing a high-quality dehumidifier from Absolute HVAC. These devices work wonders by extracting moisture from the air, helping you achieve a comfortable indoor environment. Enjoy the benefits of reduced humidity, such as improved air quality and prevention of mold growth.


Optimize Ventilation

Proper ventilation is key to maintaining a pleasant atmosphere indoors. Ensure your home's ventilation system is in optimal condition by scheduling a comprehensive inspection and maintenance service with Absolute HVAC. We will assess your system's efficiency, clean the ducts, and make any necessary repairs to guarantee optimal airflow and moisture control.


Seal Air Leaks

Air leaks around windows, doors, and other openings can let humid air into your home and allow cool air to escape. Absolute HVAC can help you identify and seal these gaps, enhancing energy efficiency and preventing unwanted moisture infiltration. By reducing the amount of humid air entering your home, you'll enjoy a more comfortable indoor environment.


Utilize Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are a cost-effective and energy-efficient way to improve air circulation. Set your fans to rotate counterclockwise during the summer months to create a cool breeze. This simple hack will help evaporate moisture from your skin, providing relief from the heat and humidity. Remember to adjust the fan's speed to suit your comfort level.


Regular HVAC Maintenance

To ensure your HVAC system is operating at its best, regular maintenance is essential. Absolute HVAC offers comprehensive maintenance plans designed to keep your system in top shape. Our expert technicians will clean and inspect your unit, check refrigerant levels, and address any potential issues before they become major problems. By maintaining your HVAC system, you'll enjoy consistent cooling and humidity control throughout the summer.


Create a Green Oasis

Indoor plants not only add beauty to your home but can also help regulate humidity levels. Certain plants, such as peace lilies, Boston ferns, and spider plants, naturally absorb moisture from the air, acting as natural humidifiers. Incorporate these plants into your interior design to enhance aesthetics while combating humidity.


Long Island's scorching summers are no match for the humidity hacks provided by Absolute HVAC. With our expert knowledge and exceptional service, you can create a cool and comfortable oasis in your home. Whether it's installing a dehumidifier, optimizing ventilation, sealing air leaks, utilizing ceiling fans, or scheduling regular HVAC maintenance, we have you covered.
