Does your thermostat allow you to "over cool" in order to get the humidity down to a comfortable level?

Trying to run it longer means it gets downright frigid and wastes electricity. Currently we just run a couple of dehumidifiers. Not ideal, looking into other solutions but it is cheapest and most practical.

The overcool setting should only run it a couple degrees lower, if you have a thermostat that handles it.
