Yes, we had a humidistat installed in our Villa. It was installed by Munn's as an add on to work with the thermostat. How it works is if you are leaving for an extended period of time. The major problem with florida homes is humidity. Instead of the cooling system constantly turning on to cool the house, you would set the humidistat to 60% and your cooling to 78o. Then if the humidity exceeds 60% it will turn on your AC until the humidity level drops below the 60%. It may get very warm in the house certain times of the year, but as long as the humidity is below the setting, your AC will not have to turn on. It does save on power consumption. We plan on having one installed after we move into our new home. Call Munns and talk to them about it. Really helpful and will answer all your questions.
