Sorry, what's an HRV?

We have a giant scary loud power sucking dehumidifier right now and I'm looking for other options.

Check out a Humidex........ uses less power then a dehumidifier.

I tried to ask about these at home hardware and the guy wasn't sure if they vented to the outside (which I want) or to the upstairs (which I don't want)

It vents outside like a cloths dryer.

Heat Recovery Ventilation (or something like that). In conjuction with the furnace it expels indoor air out while retaining the heat.
