Are they typically a whole home solutuion or do some people use these just on problem areas (fish room, bathrooms)

Dehumidistat and I have mine run 20 on / 40 off but I can also have it turn on manually if I need to (if we cook something stinky we can set an additional timer switch to 20, 40, or 60 minutes to destinkify the house). I have 4 vents come off mine, 2 of which service the tank room, 1 for the basement, and 1 that ties into the main furnace lines to service the whole house.

You could run it just to a tank room if you wanted but there are benefits to having the whole house serviced by it.
