High Humidity

We have a 2010 Georgetown with two Carrier air conditioners. The control provides for Heat, Cool, Dry and fan. This is our first time with this type of air conditioner. We are currently in a high humidity area and was wondering if the Dry mode would help with this problem? Thanks in advance for suggestions/solutions.

Having lived in a high humidity coastal environment my whole life, I find that humidity control is a necessary expense, that can be minimized by opening up on dry days if access is readily available.
A dehumidifier can take lots of moisture out of the air more efficiently than an air conditioner. Last time I checked they were in the 150 dollar range at Lowes'
Do not try the dehumidifier crystals.. If you have a real problem they will fully absorb each day requiring replacement

Check the operations of the Remote T-stat and it explains the DRY Mode. The fan comes on and off by temperature.

Here's the other manuals in case your unit is different but the modes should all operate the same.

Hope this helps!

The DRY function works basically as a dehumidifier, there is no heating or cooling, just removes moisture.
