Humidity Building on Electrical Boxes

BigBloomingBuds · Dec 6, 2020

Hey everyone,
I am having a problem with condensation building on my electrical boxes. It’s so bad that it’s dripping down to the ground and causing mold. Has anyone dealt with this? How did you fix it?
It is my veg room and the humidity is usually around 60%.
Thanks for your help.

I have not. Get a dehuey and get it in the 50’s.

Is tour box warm touching cool air? This creates sweating/moisture like a glass of iced tea sitting in the sun.

Do you have an exhaust blowing outside the building?

Insulate the outside of the panel.

That would make sense, especially if in an out building.

In or out, doesnt matter. I tried bringing in winter air to cool room. Insulated ducting had sweat/moisture in any spot that want not properly insulated. Water collected in the lower spot and dripped.

Thanks everyone! The boxes are connected to my outside walls and it’s very cold outside. I didn’t even consider thats. I lowered the humidity in the room and added floor fans which is working!
