We have an At Ease which has 1481 sq. ft air conditioned. Is it reasonable?

We just received our first (unoccupied) monthly electric bill since we installed the (de)humidistat. We are 1943 sq ft. We have the same settings as you do and only have the refrigerator plugged in. Our bill was $46.00 That was roughly $80 less than last year for the same period. Last year the refrigerator was unplugged, the AC was set at 80 degrees with no (de)humidistat and our spa pump ran 3 1/2 hrs a day. I feel that the (de)humidistat was a really good $75 investment. As you can tell, I'm not sure whether it's call a humidistat or a dehumidistat. I'm pretty sure that the box said humidistat. I'll have to check when I get back home.
