I have 70 pints dehumidifier in basement and it doesn't seem to lower humidity in entire house (2500 sqft)
I have 2 hvac systems 1st for basement + 1st floor and 2nd system for 2nd floor. I was thinking maybe good idea to have it built in for 1st hvac system, but am worried that it will not dehumidify 2nd floor. |
I have similar setup. HVAC for 1st and other for second, basement unfinished as of now.
House is normal at ~45% in the summer and too dry in winter. I really need to add some humidifiers to HVAC.
If you in-line to your basement / 1st floor it should also remove humidity on 2nd. If I remember correctly it is possible to in-line to both but gets a bit complicated.
