Dehumidifier

[Doug]

Joel, if your place is well sealed, it likely needs some ventilation and fresh air in the winter. We had a couple good threads on HRV systems and Humidex systems awhile back.

Most new homes, in cold climates, come with hrv systems already installed. If the basements unfinished, pretty easy to install one but certainly harder in a finished basement. Thats where the Humidex seems to be better but I,m not sure how they work.

My new modular was a show home, so no hrv in it. Thus part of the reason for now running a nano. I have a dehumidifier in the room itself but may as well run nothing, IMO. Seemed to make very little difference when my 90 was running. Seems they work better in very warm air or something ??

Of course any way of venting humid stale air and replacing it with dry but cold outside air, works. Its just that an hrv saves a good portion of that heat. Its also harder to heat humid air.

Another good house dryer, is a good wood stove with its own fresh air intake. Works wonders.
