AIR CONDITIONERS DO REMOVE HUMIDITYYes, your air conditioner does remove humidity from the air. Well-maintained air conditioners help to keep your relative humidity between 30% and 50% — the ideal level. As long as you run your air conditioner regularly enough to keep your home cool, it will also keep humidity levels in check. But how much does it remove? The answer is dependent on a number of factors. If you live in an excessively humid area, your AC will struggle to keep up, meaning you may need to implement a dehumidifier as well.
