Dropping them temp will make you feel more comfortable and lower the
humidity a little. But too low can also cause a problem due to the fact that
the RH actually becomes higher.

| One of the advantages of the variable speed AC systems is that they do
a better job of removing humidity ins situations like this, when less
cooling is desired. By running the air handler slower, the temp of
the air moving over the coils is lowered, thereby causing more
condensation to occur. Don;t expect that you'd want to switch for
that reason, as it wouldn't be cost effective, but it should be
considered when if you need a new system.
