We found that in the summer, the humidity was fairly easy to control, most likely because the A/C had to run a lot to keep the house cool (and of course the A/C also serves a dehumidifying function).

However, now that winter is coming and the temperatures are dropping, the A/C does not run as often, sometimes not running all night (and I see next week low temps will be near 50, so I would expect the A/C may not run all day).

When the A/C does not run, the humidity sneaks back up, like to the low or mid-60% range.

My questions are:
-- Does anyone else out there have this problem?, and
-- What do you (can I) do about it?

Thanks!

We found a dehumidifier on Amazon that does the trick....if you are into the white noise effect, run in the bedroom...otherwise, somewhere else for sure.
