The heat from dehumidification gets dumped into the dehumidied air. Better to turn down the AC and only use a dehumidifier if absolutely necessary to keep humidity below dangerous levels. You'd be surprised how much heat they dump into the air. 400 watts of dehumidification can easily be 1200 watts of latent heat. You should think of dehumidifiers as small space heaters that dry the air a bit.
