+1 on the panel, doesn't take long to build up enough humidity to start rusting the breaker screws. Should be easy to install a bathroom fan in there though.

Just because it's high efficent doesn't mean it's direct vent. Do you have 2 pipes off each appliance both going outside?
Personally id frame the sump off with a door and a good seal so you don't have to deal with the panel and a garenteented electrical night mare in a short time

Awesome input. I think the first thing is to seal that sump cabinet up.

Not that I am an expert but I haven't had any issues with my sump being utilized in my mechanical room. It sounds like my setup is identical to what you are describing, but I don't have my electrical panel in there which is the only difference. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I find it a very convenient arrangement for doing any maintenance on the tank.
