Why Indoor Air Feels Different in Charleston
The South Carolina coast is known for heat, humidity, and persistent moisture. This same moisture can get trapped inside walls and ductwork, creating rooms that feel muggy, smell musty, or never fully cool. Older homes, especially in historic districts, may have partial upgrades or uneven ventilation, causing drafts or stagnant air. Newer homes with tight construction can also trap air if circulation and filtration are inadequate.
Signs you might notice include:
- Condensation around vents or windows
- Damp spots that return even after cleaning
- Unusual odors that linger
- Dust buildup despite regular cleaning
Understanding these factors allows our team to recommend solutions that improve comfort while preventing equipment from overworking.
