Dehumidifier in Louisiana question

LIve in south Louisiana outside of New Orleans and it gets well HOT and humid in the summers. YOu walk out to check mail and your clothes are sticking to you by the time you walk back into house. 2500 sqft house with 5 ton ac, would a dehumidifier help with it feeling cooler in the house and not have the ac run as much?

It may help dry out your home. but you are going to take more power to do that, and also may add some more heat.

My question for you is, Does your current A/C run much, not much at all?

If the system don't run much, then the humdity is not getting removed, and the system is oversized. Over sized system is not going to dry out your home..

Last question, do you run your fan 24/7?

Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers
A Humidex vs. a dehumidifier

Hi everyone, I live in Maryland and am currently using a typical dehumidifier in my unfinished basement that I'm finishing myself. Now that it's almost complete, I want to operate a unit that is quieter unit and one that does not cool the basement anymore than it already is from the main level. Does anyone know anything about a [B]Humidex[/B]? I found it on this website: [U][url]http://humidexatlantic.com/humidex_home[/url][/U] and it looks very interesting. It seems to make sense (to a novice like myself) but I'm concerned about things like the winter. Would the colder denser air outside push it's way in through the outside "drier vent"? Does blowing heavy moist air out of the house make any sense? etc. Any previous experience, insight, or thoughts on this is very much appreciated. JohnRead More

Let me start by saying that I am not an HVAC professional. With that said, I want to thank some of the members here who helped me install a Carrier, Totaline humidistat to my existing AprilAire 550 humidifier. Unfortunately, right out of the box, the first Totaline H-stat wouldn’t even power up and the second, although it did power up, would not control the humidifier. It too was defective! Since my love for Carrier H-Stats quickly faded, I set out on a search for an alternative. What I found is a RiteTemp 8085C; it’s a thermostat but can also control a humidifier in heating mode and can de-humidify in cooling mode. I know; almost everybody I talked with said RiteTemp Stats are junk, but after hooking it up and using it for a few weeks, I can say it is NOT junk and has worked flawlessly in controlling the temperature and humidity in my home. Plus, RiteTemp includes a 1-800 phone number for technical support, which I used a few times myself. You talk to a real person and I must say they were very helpful! For starters, the thermostat portion of this unit measures temperature in 0.5 degree increments for a more accurate temperature control. The humidistat portion uses a different method of controlling humidity than the H-stat units that incorporate an outdoor sensor and only supply humidification while the furnace is running. The RiteTemp unit has a fast acting humidity sensor; you set the min and the max, the H-stat does the rest. I have the min on mine set at 30% and the max set at 35%. When the H-stat senses a drop in humidity below 30%, it starts the humidifier and the air handler until the H-stat senses 35% humidity; and then it shuts off the humidifier and the air handler. The thermostat continues to cycle the furnace based its call for heat regardless of what the humidistat is doing. The only thing is; I had to tap into the hot water line to supply the humidifier so it would add humidity while the furnace is in its off cycle. Showers and cooking can throw the H-stat off for a while but over the long haul, it has been able to maintain the humidity in my home between 32% and 35% based on a mechanical humidity sensor located near the thermostat. As for de-humidification, it works the same way. Set the min and max and the H-stat energizes the condensing unit and the air handler regardless of whether the thermostat is calling for cooling or not. I can’t comment on how well the RiteTemp works as a de-humidifier in cooling mode because it’s still winter here, but in heating mode, it’s awesome. You pro’s shouldn’t write off RiteTemp stats as junk so quickly. Check them out, you might be as surprised as I was! PhilRead More
