That's what I don't understand. With the right controls, you can set
the central AC so it isn't cooling, but rather heating & dehumidifying
the air? How does that work? The condenser is outside, and somehow
you run the inside air over it? Or you have a heat exchanger? Or
you just run the gas furnace as well as the AC?
with what controls? You would have to have a humidistat, certainly.
I've seen ads for whole house dehumidifiers online that say they're
supposed to work with central AC, you use the dehumidifier when AC
would make the house too cold. So that's why I'm puzzled.
I don't have any kind of AC or dehumidifier now.
