Notes -
People who live in hot countries and have air-con at home, doesn't the dry air bother you?
I've found that whenever I try to sleep with aircon on holiday my throat gets incredibly dry, but obviously it's still better than sleeping in the heat.
As far as I'm aware, the rapidly growing Sun Belt isn't full of people complaining about dry throats at night, so clearly I'm missing something.
No. A properly sized air conditioner should actually raise the humidity because the same amount of moisture in a colder air is higher humidity.
Now obviously theres air conditioners that are not properly sized and mess up the humidity. But in residential(disclaimer- I haven’t done residential that wasn’t a favor in 7 years) it’s more common to have the opposite problem, where the AC drops the temperature faster than it pulls moisture out.
