I'm figuring this project will be a couple hundred $$$ at most. You would pay that much for one energy efficient window. We have 7 windows on the southern side of the house that would need to be replaced.

You wil be lowering the temp but not so much the moisture so the relative humidity will go up in your house.

That is a very good point, and exactly why I posted here before starting this project. I am sure that the duct/piping will get down to the 50's range, and it will condense water, but perhaps not enough. It might still be worthwhile to run this in conjunction with the AC in order to reduce the amount of time the AC is running...
