Humidity is a motherfucker. I believe you guys in AZ are pretty much unfamiliar with how shitty high humidity is on a hot summer day. I don't really know if that has anything to do with it but maybe that's why. I know I like my AC in the low 60's but I live on the humid as fuck East Coast, yesterday and today have been so bad. |
If you have a problem with humidity, and you have an AC unit, then you may want to consider having the AC unit cleaned. If the coils become dirty (especially due to a lack of a filter) the AC unit won't properly cool and could also create a source of humidity in the house.
If your don't pay for electricity, and you have about $150, buy a dehumidifier. The higher the humidity, the more heat that gets trapped in the air. So if your AC unit isn't sufficient in eliminating the humidity, especially after a shower or boiling water, then a dehumidifier will help keep it down and allow you to keep the temp of the house/apt/flat/room lower.
Again, if humidity is a problem, you need to reduce it. If your AC unit isn't doing it, then get a dehumidifier otherwise you'll wear out your AC unit.
I once lived in a crappy apt. In the Winter I had to run a humidifier, so I didn't get bloody noses from the dryness, and during the Summer a dehumidifier because the AC unit couldn't keep up with the amount of humidity generated by a shower.
