# Humidity's Hidden Impact on Appliances in Central Florida

In the Greater Orlando Area and nearby cities like Clermont, Ocala, and Winter Park, the Florida humidity plays a big role in how household appliances perform and fail. We've seen firsthand how this seasonal factor affects refrigerators, washers, and even wine coolers.

## What We Noticed

- **Corrosion on electrical components** due to moisture buildup
- **Mold and mildew growth** inside washers and dishwashers
- **Increased wear on seals and gaskets** in refrigerators near Lake Eola and the Winter Park area

## Case in Point

A client from The Villages community called us after their dryer stopped heating properly. The technician found that excess humidity had caused the heating element wiring to corrode faster than usual.

## Lesson Learned

Regular maintenance and early inspections are crucial in Central Florida's climate. Waiting too long can lead to more extensive damage and costly repairs.

## What You Can Do

- Schedule seasonal check-ups, especially before the humid summer months
- Keep appliances clean and dry where possible
- Use dehumidifiers in enclosed laundry areas

By staying proactive, homeowners in Orange, Lake, Marion, and Seminole counties can avoid unexpected breakdowns and extend the life of their appliances.
