We have a CYV and installed a humidistat when we are not in TV during the summer. I believe that it saves us approx $30-40 per month during the hot summer months on AC costs. Mold is your enemy!! Keeping the AC set at 80-82ish will combat the potential mold issue very well, but you pay for it. The humidistat will comtrol the AC unit and turn it on when the humidity in the home gets to a pre-set level so your AC unit will not turn on as regularly, only when needed. The humidistat cost us approx $100 thru Munn's so I figure that we broke even very quickly in savings.
