-Use of a T-stat like the IAQ. If the humidity is higher than set point (I have mine at 45%) the blower will stay at the 80% speed untill the humidity is removed. With this, you can get better comfort with this. I used to be a person who ran our A/C at 72˚, now with this, I run it 76˚, and I am comfortable! |
Thanks Jay for the explanation. I am a bit confused however. In the first paragraph it sounds like you have no humidity "knowledge" - the furnance simply does a fixed pre-set ramp up to remove moisture and when the desired temperature is reached, the cooling stops. Humidity level may or may not be at the desired level when the cooling stopped.
On the second paragraph, a smart thermostat with knowledge of the humidity level inside the house makes the call when to stop cooling based on humidity level set at the thermostat.
You said your prefer method is paragraph #1 - no need for humidity level knowledge, but on your second paragraph, you say your have the thermostat humidity level set to 45% which you prefer because you are comfortable at 76% and having less humidity.
So which method do you have/prefer?
