Hello,
I have a 2600 sq ft 4 level split home in Canada. It was built in
1985. This past spring we replaced our very non-effecient furnace with a Tempstar 95% effecient gas furnace. It really is wonderful as the old furnace would cause the house to feel sort of drafty and basement was always cold etc... Now I have this furnace that I love to bits BUT now since it has gotten colder outside these past two weeks, we have kept the doors and windows closed and now have a high humidity problem inside the home IE: fogged up windows (triple pane)...air basically feels clammy...bought a humidistat and the house is sitting at around 50% humidity.... we use bathroom fans in the shower, and have a fan over the stove when cooking that we use all the time...we keep lids on pots on the stove etc...We have no children and only the two of us in this home so no long lingering showers by kids or anyone else.... I don't want to have to buy a dehumidifier over this new furnace.. sort of defeats the idea of trying to be energy effecient... Thinking of trying to duct in an outside air source to feed the furnace? Thoughts? Thanks... Jim
