I would not run AC and dehumidifier simultaneously. I think either alone is sufficient, and as you suggest, it's a huge load on the AC, especially in the attic on a hot day
The AC cools the upstairs very well, but does not remove enough humidity, hence mold on the window frame around the AC and in the double-pane window next to the AC. I ran the AC on "dry" and the problem seemed to get worse. That's why I'm considering adding a dehumidifier, but I'm concerned about the amount of heat that a dehumidifier introduces.
