Most HVAC companies sell a $3,000–$6,000 whole-home dehumidifier to fix a problem the right AC system prevents in the first place.
A standard single-stage AC runs at 100% capacity until your thermostat is satisfied — then shuts off. During Arizona's monsoon season (July–September), the system reaches your temperature setpoint in 10–15 minutes but hasn't run long enough to remove moisture from the air. Result: the house is cool but feels clammy and humid.
This is why homeowners with standard AC systems sometimes buy portable or whole-home dehumidifiers — they're compensating for a system that wasn't designed to handle Arizona's humidity swings.
The problem isn't your humidity. It's your AC system.
Runs continuously at low speed
The XV20's variable-speed compressor runs at 40–100% capacity. At lower speeds, it runs longer — more airflow over the cold coil means more moisture removed per cycle.
Dedicated humidity control mode
The XV20 can continue running even after your temperature setpoint is reached, specifically to dehumidify. Your thermostat controls both temperature and humidity independently.
TLINK360 thermostat monitors humidity
Bradford includes the TLINK360 smart thermostat with every XV20. It monitors indoor humidity and triggers dehumidification mode automatically during monsoon season.
No separate dehumidifier needed
Homeowners who upgrade from single-stage to the XV20 typically report their home feels noticeably less humid during monsoon season — without any additional equipment.
THE BRADFORD POSITION
"Most HVAC companies sell you a $3,000–$6,000 dehumidifier to fix a problem that the right AC system would have prevented. Bradford installs variable-speed Trane XV systems that handle both temperature and humidity — no separate dehumidifier needed."
