Why do you think dehumidifying risks your tanks? What threat to your tanks is there?

I use a dehumidifier. It doesn't run much in the spring/summer/fall when I can open windows, but it has started running now and will up until May or so. We will be moving in the spring, and plan to install an HRV. Dehumidifiers are expensive to run (electricity), and put off heat when they run as well (not a bad thing in the winter).
