Why HVAC Systems Struggle with Humidity in the Southeast
Air conditioning systems are designed primarily to control temperature. In humid climates, they often cannot remove enough moisture, particularly during mild weather.
Short AC Run Cycles
High-efficiency systems cool quickly but may not run long enough to control moisture load.
Hidden Moisture Sources
Crawl spaces, slab foundations, and outside air infiltration continuously introduce moisture into buildings.
High Outdoor Dew Points
Coastal areas and Southeastern climates maintain high humidity even when cooling demand is low.
Whole-Home Residential Humidity Control
Humidity problems affect the entire structure. The right solution depends on how the home is constructed.
Crawl Space Encapsulation & Dehumidification
Designed for off-grade homes.
Encapsulation seals the crawl space environment and is paired with a dedicated commercial-grade dehumidifier to control humidity in the crawl space and inside the home.
Benefits include:
- protecting wood framing and flooring
- reducing musty odors
- improving indoor air quality
- conditioned crawl and home interior
- deters termites & pests
- reduces mold risk
Independently Ducted Whole-Home Dehumidifiers
Ideal for slab homes.
Installed in the attic and ducted independently from HVAC, these systems control humidity throughout the home even when the AC is not running.
Benefits include:
- consistent indoor humidity (40%-50%)
- improved comfort
- reduced HVAC strain
- protect flooring & furnishings
- mitigate microbial growth
In-Wall Dehumidifiers for Garages & Small Spaces
Robust, compact solution for smaller living spaces, worksops and garages under 1,300 square feet.
Installed between the studs, these units provide dedicated humidity control without the need for ductwork.
Benefits include:
- protect furnishings
- corrosion protection
- improved comfort
- mitigate fungi growth
- quiet operation
- flush design

We reached out to Southern Climate Solutions to help us with our crawlspace, that was so wet that it was causing our original 1960’s hardwood flooring to buckle. From the first call Mike was professional, responsive and answered all of my questions, explaining how he could fix our problem permanently. Mike and his team installed a full water barrier and dehumidifier, has solved the problem completely. His team has continued to monitor the dehumidification progress and kept me informed every step of the way. I’m so grateful we found Mike and his team and would highly recommend Southern Climate Solutions for anyone who has a crawlspace.

Signs Your Home Has a Humidity Problem
Musty odors are active mold spores and an indicator that there is elevated indoor moisture.
Condensation on windows, doors, and vents, particularly in winter months, is an indicator of excess indoor moisture.
Wood floors can cup as a result of excess moisture in your crawl space, a common issue in humid environments.
The underlying cause of microbial growth is moisture. In homes where indoor humidity is consistenly above 60%, mold and fungi can thrive.
In humid environments, condensation occurs when moist, heavy air comes into contact with cold metal surfaces like vents and ductwork.
High indoor humidity promotes fungus and mold which can cause chronic sinusitis, skin and eye irritation, respiratory issues and long-term pulmonary conditions
We design and install independent dehumidification systems for facilities where humidity affects operations, maintenance costs and occupant comfort.
Condominiums & HOAs
Protect common areas, corridors, and amenities from mositure damage.
Hotels & Resorts
Prevent condensation and odors while improving guest comfort.
Municipal Buildings & Offices
Protect building materials from excess humidity and microbial growth.
Convenience Stores & Retail Outlets
Reduce condensation on ductwork, floors and refrigeration equipment.

I contacted Southern Climate Solutions to replace 2 current Desert Aire dehumidifiers in our 7 story condo building in Destin.
It is an open air atrium with 2 waterfalls. The current dehumidifiers were at the base of the waterfall but really did not suffice for all floors.
Michael and Lee came up with a solution to add dehumidifiers on the upper floors and use fans on floor 1 and 7 to move the air so that the dehumidifiers could capture and remove the moisture. They made many trips to contemplate the ultimate solution and a few trips afterwards to collect data and monitor the solution. It worked exactly like they envisioned.
Very talented and experienced in their field and craft.

Real-World Humidity Control Results
Commercial Building Case Study
Humidity problems plagued a 7-story condominium atrium with a water feature. See how we moved indoor humidity from 70% to 47%, improving indoor safety, comfort and building efficiency.
Commercial Office Building
Prior to the installation of a dehumidification systems, the thermostat was used to try and remove excess moisture. See how our solution improved building conditions and impacted energy consumption.
