Humiditiy Issues
Can anyone out there tell me what they do to control the relative humidity in their house. I have a 180 gal. and a 150 gal. the humidity is extremely high and I don't want to dehumidify to the point of risking my tanks. Any suggestions?
|
I use to have a stand alone plug in dehumidifier running but it ran up the power so I installed a Humidex in my house. It cost alot less to operate. You might wanna take a look at that. You can set the level you desire with it.
|
most people with that much water get an HRV (whole home version) installed. Do you have a forced air furnace or electric heat?
|
HRV's are great at removing humidity in the winter but in the summer a good dehumidifier is the way to go.
|
The most cost effective and efficient method to reduce humidity is an HRV system.
you can get 300$ back in federal rebate right now. we install lots of units in calgary. |
I also have a HRV, no issue's on my end now.
Before the HRV, use to get ice build up on my windows on the inside. And lots of it. Now worst case I may have a bit of moisture on them, but very little. HRV works very well, summer or winter. |
HRV. Best investment I ever made in this hobby.
|
HRV club member here as well. Same experiences, used to have major sweaty windows and ice build up. Nothing since HRV went in. Plus since it is a whole house solution everyone benefits with the fresh air that is brought in.
|
I'm interested in looking into this. Can someone who has this system give me some information on who installs them in Calgary.
|
What is involved in a HRV installation? Will drywall wall have to come down to install new venting pipes?
I'm replacing an old furnace and if I could put in an HRV that would be great. Cheers, Vic |
