Hi,

I hate to run the cooling feature of my A/C when the problem is the
humidity and not the temperature. Is there such a thing as a humidifier
that gets hooked into your A/C system and removes the moisture from the
circulating air? DAGS gave some positive results, but no clear cut answer.

Thanks

Aaron

Thats what the AC does, just think of it as free cool air and turn it
on, unless your system is oversized.

So, in my basement, where I'm running a dehumidifier in the summer,
would it cost the same to run an air conditioner?

My basement is cold this summer, usualy it gets to 70 but not this
year in my basement, I could use the heat of a dehumidifier since its
65 down there, but I dont know about cost comparisons, effeciency of
units or what you have now. My dehumidifier warms it about 3f in the
basement but only costs about 5$ a month, then I turn on the AC
upstairs, it cools the basement, and the dehumidifier gets it back to
70. If you are not warm but want just humidity removed some new ACs
have slow fan settings, but then as I understand it coil freezing has
to be monitored, maybe a pro could help you out better to give you
ideas on your set up.
