Works well in the winter months but here in South West Ontario it is very humid in the sumer months. Exhausting air outside means you are bringing humid air back in from outside.....which is kinda working against the final goal. Most people here need to run dehumidifiers in the basement even if they don't have an aquarium.
Personally I have talked about humidity with the HVAC guy who installed our furnace/AC and HRV. He recommended using a dehumidifer in the summer months (when it is humid outside as well), and the HRV in the winter months (when the air is dry outside).
