Default Re: Where can we buy a humidistat in The Villages?

I finally gave up trying to buy a humidistat. Munns is coming today to service the air conditioner and I've asked them to install one ... cost $130. They will install it on the wall next to the thermostat. I've heard it saves a whole bunch of money on air conditioning and prevents mould.

As Bobfl explained,
