Maybe if you see the temperature dropping at night to 75 or below, it might be a chance to turn off the air conditioner. If I don't turn off the air conditioner it runs all night every half hour or so. Also my bills have been twice as much in June and July
It seems very strange that your house humidity is 64 percent at a temperature of 78 degrees. I maintain my house at 78 degrees all the time, and my humidity stays at around 45 percent. I don't use any humidity control system. You may want to purchase a temperature and humidity monitor at Home Depot or Lowes for about 12 dollars to double check the humidity in your house. It it is still at 64 percent, I think something is wrong.
