On hotter days, the humidity would be about 40 to 50 percent because the AC would be operating. Do I want to turn on the humidity control feature to try to reduce the humidity to 60 percent? No, because the temperature would drop to about 74 degrees and the house would be too cold. But, it is a personal choice. I have never had a mold issue.
