Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4863823, member: 105098"]Ft. Lauderdale area. my A/C runs 24/7 also, except when it's not running due to a power outage, and over the decades, there's been a couple long periods I've been through of more than a week. I won't say it's "crazy fast toning" but like I'm definitely noticing toning appearing on coins in the 10-15-20 years ago of ownership range of minting and older. I'd like to slow it down further. I know toning is an eventuality but feel like it's happening faster than it needs to be. today for instance, it's 89F, feels like 102F, Humidity is 67% outside, and I'm at 55% according to the hygrometer, inside with the central A/C doing it's thing and the house closed, leaving doors or windows open is an even bigger problem for general dampness. I'm not at "mold concerns" level at 55% but it's not a "worst day" either, but I think the humidity should be 30-50% for "comfortable" and "normal" conditions. I had a good day of rain on saturday to sunday, lots of water that's evaporating now and this has something to do with the humidity. I think if I could get even a single specific area to 30% and stable it would be beneficial, and I really have to do something for when the power goes out. the house gets hot really quick, hotter than outside even by 3 pm, and the rapid change has to have a condensation effect, and same happens when the power comes back on and the house rapidly cools again.[/QUOTE]
