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.

Today he said:
Tempurature: 85
Humidity: 60%
These numbers were different last year, I wrote down 82 degrees and 60% after the installation. I am crafting an email to Trane support as another resource. Like I said, I have no idea the right answer, but want to know why different installers use different techniques to solve the same problem.
