Some newer thermostats run the AC and heat at the same time so the AC can pull more moisture out of the air. Well in order to do that you have to throw me heat when the temp gets below set point. this option should be described as (De-humidify with AC/heat units). If you don't have a de-humidifier to run, could be an option. A rather dumb one, but some people may not mind spending the extra on electricity. Whether its cheaper to do this vs run a humidifier I'm not sure either. Humidifier/dehumidifier WILL cause heat in the area it is in. So If your humidifier is techinically outside of suite, it would probably be more beneficial to have actual dehu than have ac/heat run at same time. Otherwise your dehu is heating the suite while your AC is cooling it down. Still running 2 units. Heat strips can pull 20+ amps @ 240v, dehu prolly pulls 14amps @ 120v (at most I'm guessing really). Not sure how much heat is produced to calculate really.
