What does it take to keep a home comfortable next to a lake in Florida? A lot more than most people realize. Carrollwood’s lakes and canopy roads create pockets of higher humidity that linger longer than in drier parts of the county, and that moisture works its way into HVAC systems over time.
Egberts Electric and Air Conditioning knows how to keep Carrollwood homes comfortable despite the extra humidity this neighborhood holds onto.
Many Carrollwood homes date back to the sixties, seventies, and eighties, and a lot of that original ductwork is still doing its job today, just not as efficiently as it once did. Combine that with the lingering humidity near the lakes, and small issues tend to show up more often here.
Our technicians are experienced with older systems and know exactly where to look first when a Carrollwood home starts having trouble.
Homes near Carrollwood’s lakes and mature tree lines often deal with higher ambient humidity than the rest of the neighborhood, which affects how a new system should be sized and configured. A system that works fine on a dry inland street is not always the right choice a few blocks closer to the water.
We take these microclimate differences into account when recommending equipment, so your new system is built for the humidity levels your specific home actually deals with.
Persistent humidity near Carrollwood’s lakes puts extra pressure on a system’s ability to dehumidify indoor air properly. Without regular maintenance, that struggle can lead to musty smells, moisture buildup, and added strain on your compressor.
Scheduled tune ups help your system manage that moisture more effectively, keeping your home feeling dry and comfortable instead of sticky, even during Tampa’s most humid stretches.

After addressing the moisture source and servicing the system, the smell cleared up within days.
