Is there a dehumidifier out there that won't heat up the house?

We bought one last year, but we're basically not allowed to use it because it heats up whatever room it's in. Our thermostat has been set to 67F for hours now and it's still 80+ in the house (it's after 10pm). I literally have two fans going right now and they're barely making a dent in it. I grew up in the Sonoran Desert, where it hits 105+ during the summer pretty much every day, plus 80-90% humidity due to monsoons. It never felt as humid and sticky as it does right now, and it doesn't usually get this bad here. Is there any way to get some kind of relief from this??

Yes ma'am I know a little about A/C. You say it's on 64 but it's still 80°
First thing to do is look at the inside part of the unit and check for ice. The chopper leading into the machine will sometimes freeze up. Second check the filter. If it's dirty air won't pass through, and if it was me if take it out for the night. Third of all an AC is basically only guaranteed to make the inside 26°cooler than the tempt but most do a little better. Fourth is your fan in the on position or the auto position.
If you check those I'll wait here for your answer. First fifteen minutes are free. So is the second and third I was just rushing you. Quit reading
