I have now owned 3 of these. Two in my previous house . 0ne in suite and one upstairs .(no stairway or opening in floor to downstairs. It got rid of condensation and mold,midew issues on windows and walls, especially on alluminum double pane. In my new house i bought another one and because i have a duct to the basement it does the whole house. Its a simple machine and it works period. You do not lose any heat if installed correctly. I call it a low cost air exchanger. It works and i am one happy repeat customer. I bought mine for $ 400 canadian and installed it myself. Highly recommened.

- Dehumidifier for crawlspace humidity
I have plenty of happy clients using these units for years without problems. You are correct, they are simple yet effective. I strongly recommend them to anyone wishing to put a workout area in the basement or have a finished basement. The difference in air quality is night and day.
I was also told that I needed to get one for our crawl space. I don't really know why so can someone explain it to me further? Is the moisture in the crawl space doing damage? I was told about this website that has a specific Crawl Space Dehumidifier. Is that the type I should be looking for? Sorry for all the questions!
I have owned a Humidex model 209 since March 2000 and I am totally amazed how well and efficient they work vis-a-vis less than $400 cost versus ten times the cost for a $4,000 HRV.
In the winter, I use it as a air exchanger and in the summer, I use it in conjunction with my dehumidifier to remove excess dampness from the cold concrete floor.
This Humidex does what I expected it to do - expell cold air.
