Programmable - Universal Staging Thermostats
In this case, no, they do not have a whole house dehumidifier,...they just have either a straight cool system or a heat pump. The air conditioning does the dehumidifying. The thermostat handles the heating and cooling control. The Dehumidistat, when in use only allows the thermostat to work when the humidity in the home is above whatever you have the dial set on. 60% is the recommended humidity setting.
