I had a humidistat when I lived in Sarasota.If I recall how they work, if you set the thermostat to 78* the air conditioner will run almost all the time. The idea is to have the air come on only when the humidity gets above a certainly level regardless of temperature. If I remember we used to set the thermostat on 98* and the humidistat at 60%. The air will come on whenever the temperature reaches whatever you have the thermostat set on. How often does it get below 78* here in the summer time?
