Default Big push to sell you stuff

We have bought two homes in the Villages. We had two different inspectors and they both said a humidistat is useless. Our first home we were snowbirds and used 83 setting when we up North in the summer and had very low bills.
Second home has both A/C and a humidistat. Both were put in by Munn's. Our inspector also said the humidstst was useless and to leave it on O. Again we have very low bills.
As a side note, our inspector also told us two more things that they love to sell you with a good sales pitch that really don't work.
Putting vents in your garage door when all the heat is about the door. Putting in an attic fan.

I won't argue anyone who believes otherwise. I'm just repeating what inspectors have told me.
