Your AC is nothing more than a large dehumidifier so it will keep mold from forming as long as it is working on a regular basis. The idea of dehumidifiers is a great back up if AC fails. New remotely operated thermostats would be a must if you are not going to present in the home to monitor humidity and AC operation. Great discussion from others here who obviously have knowledge based on experience.
