You should run it only when it's display tells you the air is humid.
A dehumidifier should be monitored when used to prevent a fire hazzard.
It is okay to run a dehumidifier and central air at the same time. This will help keep the costs down for the air conditioner. If the dehumidifier is running, the air temperature will cool off quicker and the air conditioner can be turned up a little higher.
Turn it off
The average dehumidifier can cost anywhere between $100 and $200 in electricity per year.
After checking out some reviews online the best brand of dehumidifier seems to be Blyss, they are cheap to buy and run, these dehumidifiers can be purchased at all hardware stores.
The dehumidifier would in a sense "win" this battle. Since the dehumidifier sucks water out the air and the humidifier adds water to it. The humidifier would run out of water before the dehumidifier sucks all the water out the air.
Due to the power required,you will need to runa dehumidifier using 120V power.

these results may vary depending on time and whereabouts 3 hours 44 minutes 23 seconds for optimum results and longer than this will result in your dehumidifier turning evil and humidifiying your windows!
