HVAC in the south

I recently moved down to the south for work and I am still getting used to the hot and humid weather. I don’t know how people live in this climate all year long, but I am hoping that I will get used to it eventually. I moved down here from a northern part of the country that didn’t have high levels of humidity. Before moving down here I hadn’t really visit a place that had high levels of humidity either, so it was a shock to me when I moved down here. I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into. In my old house, I didn’t need to always have the air conditioner on because you could get away with just opening the windows if you needed to cool down the house. However, in my new house, you have to turn on the air conditioning if you want to cool down the house at all. I also have to keep the air conditioning on to help control the humidity. I hate the humidity much more than I thought I would, but it really has been hard to get used too. I have been turning on my air conditioning and leaving it on all day and night. I haven’t gotten my first bill yet, but I can only imagine how much it is going to cost me. I really need to find a way to cool down my house without having to keep the air conditioning on at all times.
