Hi Barefoot, I gather from above message that the humidistat is working well for you. Do you have any figures available? My house in SW Florida was only running about $18 per month during the Summer down there in previous years. Interestingly we didn't turn ours on this Summer because the house is for sale and we didn't want the temp to get too high for showings. Our thermostat is set to 79 degrees now and bills are running about $60 per month so far.
Have a contingent contract signed, fingers are crossed, will get to TV yet!

Bob
