Folks, in my quest to be sure I have a good handle on this humidity stuff, I ran across something called Ez Breathe. This system claims to exchange air in the home as opposed to pulling air over coils and the like. Thus the air is exchanged over the entire home, costs $2 to $4 as opposed to the $30 that conventional dehumidifiers cost to operate. The difference is in the price, which is about $1,500. Now the unit apparently has a humidistat and a fan that can create a negative pressure at 176 CFM at 31 Db noise level. The purpose of installing in the basement is to pull air from all levels and vent them outside of a six-inch hole in your home. They claim it also pulls warm air down to the basement and this unit sits on the floor so it is pulling air down to the floor. So, I'm curious if anyone is familiar with this or knows anything at all. In my questioning of the sales rep, she seem to have sound info and I'm not saying the system is bad, good, or worth the cost. I'm more curious if it sounds reasonable at all. Seems to me that would running the fan in the furnace accomplish some of the same goals? Maybe just installing a fan that vents to the outside would do the same thing for less money? Just wondering and hey exchanging air can't be a bad thing in any event, but not sure the cost is reasonable.
tnx
