It will depend on your use of air conditioning. If you allow the temp to go high to save electricity, your indoor humidity will also rise. Part of air conditioning's function is removing moisture from the air. I grew up near the ocean with a frugal dad who didn't mind indoor temps of 76-78. Everything metal developed a patina of oxidation and everything made of wood (doors, cabinets) all swelled. Keep your temp below 74 and you should do fine--as I learned in my adult years when I was in charge of the thermostat (and paying the bills)! I'd still unplug and clean/treat all my connections once per year (which I do regardless of where I live).
