I have read a lot about the pro/con of gas/propane generators. I have an almost new champion 75537i 3100 watt remote start inverter gas generator. I am in the process of purchasing a used FW that com...

Clammy heat is inside with 85F and 60% R/H not outside. Oooooo as I write this, it's 83F with 67% R/H. To keep the sweat down a fan is blowing on me, my arms and legs have cold skin and my head is sweating. My beloved dehumidifier is thousands of miles from here.
This was great when I was young. 95 at midnight, sleeping out under the overhang laying atop an army cot. Then horsepacking later. Goethe Lake outside Bishop 12,000 ft altitude. Every morning, waking up to 10F in August (1983) while Bishop sweltered under 100F temperatures. Golden trout fishing for 2 weeks stay.
But my body betrays me in the autumn of my years. I blame it on "thin skin of the aged". I can tolerate neither heat nor cold like I used to. Sitting in an armchair shivering and sweating at the same time is not my idea of fun. God gave me a brain. I used it. Excessive humidity is the gremlin. I crunched numbers using kWh meters.
Ooooooo, guess what? By cycling the A/C, maintaining a higher temperature but with lower humidity, I became much more comfortable and saved a substantial amount of kWh money doing it.
In my Antelope Valley shop, I heard innumerable air conditioners roaring in the distance. Some of the homes I visited struggled to get temperatures down into the high 80's. I fine tuned a swamp cooler and shivered under its direct blast. Air temp 78F R/H 32% throughout the shop.
High in the mountains, nose bleeds with winter relative humidity levels of 2%. Boiling water atop the wood stove - less wood consumed and no nose bleeds.
Relative humidity is a key component of comfort. To ignore it is foolish if you value your comfort and the contents of your wallet.
