I read that if you set the T-stat to 70º and the H-stat to what you
*perceive* to be a comfort level, the AC only runs to achieve the relative
humidity set on the H-stat. It went on to say that it helps to keep the unit
from cycling as often as it normally would, thereby saving electricity and
still be comfortable. The THI here for a week has been 110 - 115, and it
just got me to wondering. As inexpensive as the H-stats are I thought it
would be worth a try - or at least the time it takes to do all this typing.

Opinions appreciated!
TIA

Easy's gettin' harder everyday


The two controls are wired in parallel (Not in series) therefore, if
either the Temperature or the Humidity set points are Not met, the AC
contactor will stay energized & the AC unit will stay running.
Especially if the system is somewhat oversized, it is a good way to go.
