84 can be a little high. The A/C companies (unless they've changed the temps and no one told me -- quite possible) have always told me that 83 in the summer is the optimal temp to keep mold away and not have a high bill. 55 for the winter is more than enough to keep anything from freezing over.

Dehumidistats do change things so that you can leave things at higher temps with no risk.
