But, it is not a good idea to use it when you are living in the house, because sometimes the house will be too hot or too cold. As stated in another post, a real dehumidifier will include a heater to "reheat" the air after the humidity has been removed by overcooling. This would allow you to control both the temperature and the humidity.

Actually, the "reheat" is energized simultaneously with cooling so as to maintain a constant discharge air temperature that will not over or under cool the space yet remove moisture in the process until the desired humidity set point is met.
