Hello all,
DH and I bought out first home last month, and managed to keep the electric bill to $30 (2000 sq ft) by not running the AC. Temps were great due to cooler temperatures.
Now the temperatures are still not terrible (85 at peak), but outdoor humidity is getting up to 90%. Heat doesn't bother me too much, but the house is getting into upper 60% and even over 70% occasionally and I've heard that can cause mold growth/bugs/other damage to the home.
We've already switched to taking 4 cool showers a week (2 each), cooking outside to avoid boiling water, and bought a few plants that are supposed to absorb humidity.
I've resorted to running the AC to keep the humidity inside at bay. What do you other mustachians do to solve humidity problems in your home?
