I have a dehumidistat and the piece of mind alone makes it worthwhile. Without one, where does one leave his air conditioner during the summer months when the owner is gone; 80 degrees? 82 degrees? 84 degrees or just where?
The dehumidistat is foolproof. Set it for 60% humidity and don't worry about how hot or cold the house is. The dehumidistat puts your thermostat to sleep and you cannot even get a temperature reading off it as the digital display disappears. At 60% humidity, mold cannot grow. They don't care how hot or cold the house is, only what is the humidity.
We have had it for two summers when we went back to Jersey and it was foolproof. No mold whatever.
