+1 for it, even if i don't have a fish tank, i still get one for my house for the comfort. And it really awesome to see over 30 ppl in my house for party and window does not fog up at all. Mine was installed by Warren at BMS heating, best price in town and very clean install. Very happy with mine

+1 have had one now for a few years and yes it makes a HUGE difference. I too went with AirPro Heating and would recommend them to anyone.

Interesting discussion as I was about to go looking for a dehumidifyer . . . Does anyone know what kind of price range these units are?

So what's the control element on one of these units ? Temperature ? Does it run continuously or only when the furnace kicks in ?

Are they typically a whole home solutuion or do some people use these just on problem areas (fish room, bathrooms)

I've put one in my new house. They are typically a whole home solution with the main part of the draw coming from the "wettest" part of the house. Bathrooms, fishrooms, etc. I have mine drawing from within my fish tank canopy and from my fishroom. It then deposits the fresh air about 10ft from my display in the center of the house. I have one with a variable fan that can run from 60cfm all the way to 150cfm. The higher the speed, the more likely that it's noisy. I ran extra large piping through the house to avoid the noise.

Dehumidistat and I have mine run 20 on / 40 off but I can also have it turn on manually if I need to (if we cook something stinky we can set an additional timer switch to 20, 40, or 60 minutes to destinkify the house). I have 4 vents come off mine, 2 of which service the tank room, 1 for the basement, and 1 that ties into the main furnace lines to service the whole house.

You could run it just to a tank room if you wanted but there are benefits to having the whole house serviced by it.
