It may not be the way you want to go but when I first arrived in auckland 20 years ago I was living on the Shore and moild and dampness drove us crazy. We then looked at an HRV system (not the firm of that name which sels a completly different device)

 

We subscribe to COnsumer and they recommended Clenaire https://cleanaire.co.nz/

 

Basically  it has a vent at front end of house and another at the rear end. In the middle sits the HRV. It pulls air in from the front the exchanger has fans etc and every room has either an inlet and exit or just an inlet. Warm air is taken from the house and feed to heat exchanger where it warms the air coming in from outside. The fresh warmed air is then exited into each room of house. That warm moisture ladden air is then expelled outside. The system rund all day and night all year round. It solved all our problems. You do have to iunderstand that it works by using the warm aior to heat the coldair from outside. If you had no heating inside house its not going to works as well. Cleanaire come and design a system for your style of house.

We have a cold house in the bush and run two dehumidifiers essentially 24/7.
One in the downstairs bathroom that keeps the room warm and dries the towels (heated towel rail also) and helps the whole downstairs somewhat.
Other one upstairs, overnight in the lounge, so as not directly above my bed for noise, then in the morning I move to other end of house for the kids bedrooms.

Cheers,
Joseph

I am currently trialing my enuite bathroom extractor fan to automatically turn on when RH is 80% and above.

 

It will run for 15mins and turns off. Then do another check every 30mins.

 

 

I usually noticed it turning on automatically around 2 to 3am when the temperature drops.

 

 

We have a portable dehumidifier that we haven't been using for years now.

 

RH throughout the house stays around 60% based on sensors installed in each room and common areas.

Looks like we might be only running dehumidifiers on wet weeks, bought the dehumidifier on Tuesday, ran it for a few days and with this nice weather the humidity in the house has been sitting between 50-65% in our sensors scattered around the house...

 

Certainly made a difference on those first two days though!
