First of all if humidistat is set properly to on and you have preset the high to 78 for AC and low to 67 for heat the humidity in the house will never get high at all because the unit is turning on for humidity not for temp.
The only time it comes on without the humidistat starting it is if the temp rises to 78 in the house or the temp drops to 67.
Now with the humidistat controlling AC & Heat it prevents the unit from coming on say 16 times in a given 24 hour period. Now it comes on perhaps half that time. So the savings comes from that both in $$$ saved and longevity of the system.
I hope this helps all who wish to get one. Believe me if your a seasonal resident why wouldn't you get one. If your not at the house during the summer why pay for A/C to run and run and...........so on.
We just had Munns put one in and the total costs came to $ 175.00 installed and they were the cheapest. According to them if you wait till the temp gets warmer outside the price is going up.
