Abstract

Systems and methods are provided and include a variable-capacity compressor operable in a first capacity mode and in a second capacity mode that is higher than the first capacity mode. A control module is configured to switch the variable-capacity compressor between the first capacity mode and the second capacity mode based on a demand signal from a thermostat and an indoor relative humidity sensed by an indoor relative humidity sensor. The control module determines whether the indoor relative humidity is greater than a predetermined humidity and operates the variable-capacity compressor in the second capacity mode in response to receiving the demand signal from the thermostat and the indoor relative humidity exceeding the predetermined humidity.
