When we first bought our condo in So Fla, Fla Power and Light recommended a programable thermostat over the humidstat. We left our unit here for 4 to 5 mos in the summer. The setting is 81 or 82 during the day, but at 2AM the AC is programed to run for 1 to 2 hour(you preference) at 70 degrees. This removed the humidity from the unit. We have never had a problem. Our bill is about $20/mo and we have 1400 Sq Ft. We are at our Village house frequently enough that we just leave the thermostat at 81 and it's fine.
