Integrated humidity control across Palm Beach County. If your house is cool and still feels clammy, the thermostat cannot fix it — because temperature and moisture are two different problems.

The Principle
Advanced Cooling and Heating is a licensed Florida HVAC contractor (License #CAC057209), established in 1996 and based in West Palm Beach. Your thermostat measures temperature. Comfort in this climate depends at least as much on moisture, and nothing on the wall is watching that.
An air conditioner removes humidity as a side effect of cooling — moisture condenses on the cold coil while the system runs. That works well when the system runs long enough. In mild weather, or with a system that satisfies the thermostat quickly, it does not run long, and the moisture stays.
So you get a house at 74 degrees that still feels heavy, with damp closets and a musty edge to the air. Lowering the thermostat is the instinctive response and it is the expensive one: you overcool the whole property to squeeze out moisture the system was never asked to remove.
Yes. We provide integrated humidity control solutions for residential and light commercial properties across Florida.
Yes. By lowering latent load and reducing excessive runtime, whole-home dehumidifiers can support overall HVAC efficiency and reduce compressor strain.
Air conditioners remove moisture as a byproduct of cooling. In Florida’s climate, short runtime cycles or oversized systems may not reduce indoor humidity sufficiently. A dedicated dehumidifier manages moisture independently of temperature.
Maintaining indoor humidity between 45 and 55 percent reduces the conditions that allow mold growth. While no system eliminates all microbial risk, controlled humidity significantly lowers moisture-related growth potential.
No. Dehumidifiers work alongside the AC system to reduce indoor humidity without overcooling. This improves comfort and can reduce excessive runtime.
From emergency AC repairs and refrigerant leak detection to full HVAC system replacement, ductwork installation, heat pump service, and indoor air quality solutions, our HVAC technicians are ready to respond.

The Symptoms
These all point at humidity rather than cooling capacity. If the house is cold and these persist, adding more cooling will not help.
They cost very little and settle the question. Leave one in the room that bothers you and read it over a few days.
Consistently above 60 percent means there is a real moisture problem worth addressing. Sitting in the fifties means the discomfort is coming from something else, and we would rather you knew that before spending.
Talk It ThroughThe Installation
A whole-home dehumidifier is ducted equipment with a drain and a power supply. Each of those is a decision, and each one gets made badly often enough to be worth naming.
Sized to the property's actual moisture load rather than its square footage, which are not the same number.
Tied into the return, into the supply, or ducted independently — each suits a different layout and a different complaint.
Added to the duct system, it adds resistance. Static pressure measured so the air conditioning is not compromised to fix the humidity.
These run for long periods and produce water throughout. Drainage planned to a proper termination, with overflow protection.
Dedicated supply confirmed at the panel rather than sharing a circuit that cannot carry it.
Humidistat sited where it reads the space honestly, and configured so cooling and dehumidification cooperate instead of fighting.
That is worth acting on rather than cleaning repeatedly. Persistent surface mildew means humidity has been high for a while, and the longer it runs the more it costs in materials and finishes.
