Deep Dive: Lakefront Humidity & Efficiency
Protecting Your Home from Lake St. Clair Moisture
Why Lakefront Homes Need Different HVAC:
Lakefront communities (like St. Clair Shores and Harrison Township) face unique challenges due to constant humidity from Lake St. Clair. This moisture infiltrates home ductwork, creating conditions for mold and mildew growth.
Lakefront homes require:
- AC systems with superior dehumidification capabilities.
- Regular professional duct cleaning to prevent mold buildup.
- Whole-home dehumidifiers for optimal comfort and property protection.
Upgrading the Aging Housing Stock
Given that the median Macomb County home was built in 1970, many homeowners are still running inefficient furnaces (60–80% AFUE).
- The Benefit: Upgrading to modern 95–99% AFUE furnaces often sees the investment pay for itself within 6–8 years through lower utility bills, while ensuring reliable heat during Michigan’s extremes.
