HRV vs Whole House Dehumidifer

[mark]

Was planning a DIY HRV installation but thought bring a heating contractor over for a comparison. $3000 labour to install a HRV (another $1K wholesale) isn't going to happen but guy was suggesting a whole house dehumidifer would be a better option anyways.

Hadn't really thought about a dehumidifier before as only familiar with the small portable units but a quick search on the internet shows guy might be onto something.

Thoughts? Anyone using a WHD?
