I hadn't had a problem with humidity until our recent arrival of winter (-10). Windows were sweating profusely. Changing the furnace fan to run continuously made a HUGE difference. Colder out now (-15), and there is very minimal condensation (about 1" on the bottom of the windows only, where they were completely covered before.
Probably not the ideal permanent solution (I am going to look at a HRV), but I think this will get me through this winter.

Furnace humid.
Another thing to check is the humidifier on your furnace. Turn it right down, You should see a noticable drop in humidity in 24 hrs.

I have a HRV in my house but it cant keep up with the 90 gal and 4 people cooking and bathing. Its the stupid aluminum window frames that are the biggest culprit. From what i saw of the humidex it just takes the cold damp air from the basement floor, and i dont think there is any heat recovery, just venting. There wasnt any mention of a drain tube or bucket so i dont its a dehumidifier, just a vent. Besides my basement is fine, its my upstairs where the tank is that has the problem. I have been looking at dehumidifiers and Costco seems to have the best deal.
