Wow, Steve, humidity at 52% I consider that to be pretty high, but we live in different climates, so 52% might be fine where you live.

We live in a 1500 sq ft condo with in-floor heating. The highest humidity we've had was 47% during a cold spell (-25 or something) and it felt like it was raining in here. Also, condensation on the windows was so great we had ice on all windows.

Since we have no forced air heating and therefore no heat exchanger, we open the balcony door while the fireplace and a couple of fans are on to remove excess humidity. Do this at least once a day if the weather is cold to get humidity levels as close to 30% as possible, though humidity levels in our condo range from about 32% to 40%.

With high humidity levels, there is always the chance of mold and fungus growth, something we want to avoid at all costs. I'm thinking a home with 52% humidity would be a good place for mold to grow. Has that ever been a problem or concern for you?
