Buffalo sits 20 miles from Lake Erie. When west winds blow across the lake during summer, they pick up moisture and push it inland. Your air conditioner does not just cool air. It removes humidity. High humidity forces your evaporator coil to work harder. More condensate forms. Drain pans fill faster. Algae grows quicker in standing water. Clogged condensate drains cause water damage and freeze the coil. Buffalo AC systems handle more latent load than systems in dry climates. This extra work shortens compressor life and increases refrigerant leak risk. When your ac unit blowing heat needs emergency repair, humidity-related failures are often the root cause. Your system was not designed for Florida-level humidity, but Buffalo delivers it regularly during July and August.
