Indoor Air Quality in St. Lucie West
IAQ in St. Lucie West homes almost always comes down to humidity. Florida air is already 70-90% RH outdoors. If your AC can't pull it below 55% indoors, you get musty smells, condensation on windows, and coil mold. We measure before we recommend.

Common questions from St. Lucie West homeowners
Why is humidity so high in my St. Lucie West home?
Usually the AC is oversized and short-cycles — doesn't run long enough to dehumidify. We measure runtime and recommend a fix that isn't just 'add a dehumidifier.'
Do UV lights really work?
They work on the coil surface — kills biofilm that grows in the condensate pan and coil fins. They do not sterilize the air in your rooms.
Is whole-home dehumidification worth it?
In St. Lucie West, if your indoor RH stays above 60% in summer despite the AC running, yes. Below 55% RH, no.
