I have a Carrier 5 ton unit which has a Carrier programmable thermidistat. The unit has a humidifier install in the duct.
I am having a problem with the bottoms of my drapes (near where the returns come out of the floor) getting mold on them. Also my bathroom walls and baseboard are also getting mold as well as the ceiling. My bathrooms have exhaust fans which help exhaust humidity during showers etc.
I have moisture barrier plastic installed in my crawl space with automatic foundation vents.
Also I have mold on the registers coming out of the floor as well as down inside the duct where the registers fit.
I checked the control thermidistat and here were the settings Humidity 45 DHumidity 88.
I turned the humidity down to 15% and the left the dehumidity set to where it was 88
I have a 2,000 square foot home. I live in North West Georgia (Flintstone, GA) which does not have extreme weather conditons either way.
I do not understand what I am doing here so I surely need some help from someone that understands mold, humidity and dehumidifying.
I am new to this forum and would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I am a good DYI person and can follow and understand instructions.
Thanks
Tom
