Some Southern homeowners use their air conditioners year-round to combat humidity. Theo Etzel, CEO of Conditioned Air Corporation of Naples Inc. in Naples, Florida, has these recommendations for more effective continuous use of your cooling system:

Set the fan to automatic. (Keeping it in the "on" position actually re-humidifies the space by blowing air over a wet coil when the condenser cycles off.)
Invest in a unit with a variable-speed air handler.
Consider installing a whole-house dehumidifier.
Don't automatically lower the thermostat. Etzel says turning down the thermostat to reduce humidity can be a sign of an oversized air conditioning system. If you're using the thermostat, though, smart thermostats can be part of a humidity strategy.
