I guess I have a little research to do.....
Did Chuck recommend temperature and humidistat settings? It seems to me if the thermostat is set low the air handler would be running all the time, or if set to high the compressor won't come on when the humidistat calls for dehumidification.
We install a humidistat to cut our electric bills and have less wear and tear on our equiptment while we are away. While keeping mold from forming in our homes. I'm not sure this is the best way to accomplish this.
