How Florida Humidity Affected Our Ocala Refrigerator: A Lesson in...

### The Challenge of Florida Humidity on Appliances in Ocala

Living in the Ocala service area means dealing with high humidity levels year-round, which can affect household appliances, especially refrigerators. Recently, a client near Ocala's historic downtown reported their fridge was struggling to maintain the right temperature.

### What We Found

- The fridge's condenser coils were clogged with dust and moisture buildup from the humid air.
- This caused the compressor to overwork, risking a complete failure.
- The client had never cleaned the coils since the fridge was installed 5 years ago.

### Steps Taken

1. Our Clermont technicians arrived within 2 hours and carefully cleaned the coils.
2. We replaced a worn-out fan motor that was struggling due to moisture damage.
3. Explained to the homeowner the importance of regular coil cleaning especially in Central Florida's climate.

### Lesson Learned

Humidity in the Greater Orlando Area can silently damage appliances over time. Preventive maintenance like coil cleaning and timely repairs can extend your fridge’s life and efficiency.

### Why This Matters

If you live in Orange County, Lake County, or Marion County, paying attention to local climate effects on your appliances is crucial. Seasonal check-ups near Lake Eola or The Villages community can save you costly repairs later.
