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?
All feedback is welcome!  |
I would call an air conditioning service company. It should really be serviced at least once a year. If, the same as ours the control can be set for both temperature and humidity separately.
As far as your home in Poinciana that really means nothing. Some of the thermostats the
set degrees are little more than a reference number older ones would have a thermometer as well.
