I don't think my wife would go along with that idea.
I moved here from Poinciana, FL so I'm familiar with the Florida humidity. My home A/C in Poinciana was set at 75 degrees and it was cool to the point we used blankets in the evening to watch TV.
Is there something I'm missing, e.g. have the freon checked in the A/C unit? Flush out the condensate line (although there doesn't seem to be much condensate exiting the house). Or could it be something else. Is a whole house de-humidifier the answer?

I purchased the Sensi Emerson WiFi Thermostat which has multiple functions to address your humidity/temp issue.. it has programs which you can set to set your AC on and off Duty cycle and drop your humidity level!
You still will need to do your AC basics , filter changes, clean evaporator, spray and clean your condenser... run a shop vac on your evap drain line, it might be partially clogged...therm was 110.00 on the Amazn
