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?

We have a humidistat that was installed by Munn's and use it when our villa sits empty. When we activate the Humidistat, it over-rides the thermostat and turns the AC on when the humidity reaches or exceeds 60%, regardless what the thermostat is set at. We have noticed that our electric bills during the summer months have gone down by $40-$60 per month.
