Window air conditioners can't sense humidity, if too humid all you can
do is crank up the cooling, but then it becomes cold and dank, and the
cooling shuts off. Same occurs when people put in an over size
central air unit, cooling shuts off before the humidity is pumped out.
AC is tricky to calibrate which size to install.
