These portable units sell for about $500, come with remote control and are very quiet. BTY, my wife thinks I'm nuts.
The humidity is definitely a reason to use AC. I keep the house at 75 during the day and 76 at night. I like it cool (cold) at night so I use a small window ac unit in my bedroom and keep it at 68 at night. My electric bill runs around $125. I have gas for the oven and drier.
