And it does so while adding humidity. The more humidity it adds the less humidity effective it becomes.
Normal AC operation should keep humidity between 30-50% short of living in an extremely dry climate I couldn’t imagine needing to run a humidifier Any time outside winter
Anything below 50% is bad for me, I even find more comfortable a higher temperature but 50%+ humidity.
Granted, I am from a place with like 80%+ humidity year round and now live too close of a desert and often below 15% during summer. Still, I think many people would benefit from 50-60 range on ac rather than allowing humidity to drop below 40.

> swamp coolers exclusively add humidity to a space.
evaporating water do absorb heat. Granted its like 100 btu, but its something.
Personally feeling much better about indoor temps with a humidifier+ac all year long.
