Good point...typo using.

We hardly ever have high humidity here, but last summer it was terrible. If you are going to live any place that has high humidity I would recommend central air. I had three fans going in the bedroom, including the ceiling fan and it was still unbearable. You could try sleeping in the basement if you have one.

Our bathroom isnt even big enough for one fan!! I am jealous

We have a window aircon unit, but its through a hole in the wall so doesnt block the light. it works fine, maybe 4 nights last year we had to sleep in that room but otherwise we were ok. Cost, it cost the same to cool and dehumidifythe house in August as it did to heat and humidfy in January.

This year we have bought a screen house for the yard and plan on speding the evenings out there.

We've found it just as simple to maintain a constant temperature, summer and winter.

If its -30c or plus 30c we try to keep the house at comfortable level, and have found it really does not make a difference to maintain the house that way 24/7. Its always at a comfortable level rather than be heating it up or cooling it down twice a day.

Our house is well insulated though, and we don't work regular hours, so we are in & out of the house at all hours.
