A dehumidifier does essentially the same thing as your AC when it is controlled by a humidistat, but it would probably not circulate the dry air throughout the entire house. For a fairly small investment, the humidistat (a device that controls the AC based on humidity rather than temperature) will ensure a humidity level low enough to discourage the growth of mold and mildew.
