[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 660934, member: 39764"] The a/c will dehumidify the air in the room. As it lowers the temperature, it also lowers the dew point and as the dew point lowers, the a/c condenser will 'pull' the moisture from the air as it cools it. Just makes sure the business end of the a/c unit is dripping on something important...lol Wintertime cold isn't an issue either, if you heat the room with an exception. If you use a non-vented space heater (like a wal mounted ng or propane one), the heater, as it heats will produce water vapor as a by-product of combustion so you'll need to dehumidify the air in the room or your metal will rust. Regular forced air or electric heat don't cause excessive moisture, if anything, in the dead of winter, it will get too dry and that is bad for wood stocks, furniture and your nose so you might have to humidify the air. Ideally,you want the ambient humidity in a room to be around 50% relative moisture. I heat my shop with an in floor PEX system and a propane fired water heater. Once the 100,000 pound slab gets to around 70, the system idles all winter. [/QUOTE]
