I'm no expert, but because I have my home usually empty during the summer, I was told to have a humidistat installed.

It was installed by an A/C company, and it cost me just over $100.00

I'm told that it overides the thermostat, and keeps your home from getting moldy. As long as the home is unoccupied, I keep it set at 65% and the thermostat set at 80-85 degrees......and that insures that my home should stay mold free.

I recommend M+S Air conditioning.
