Question for you construction gurus

submitted by AugustineOfHippo2 to AskUpgoat 6 monthsNov 16, 2024 09:48:29 ago (+5/-0)     (AskUpgoat)

Every house in our development has high humidity problems. In the winter, I can drive down our street and see condensation on everyone's windows. Houses were built in 1985-ish. All 2 or 3 levels splits.
I've been able to mitigate by installing an cheaper HRV, and supplementing with a small dehumidifier when needed so we keep the humidity down around 50%.
We just had our windows replaced, and I am a bit uneasy due to the new windows being sealed better and causing our humidity to go up in spite of the HRV and dehumidifier.
What is a good way to figure out where the humidity is coming from?
Should I replace the cheapie HRV with a super fancy one, or replace with a heavy duty whole house dehumidifier? Or do both?
Any other options?

If I park 10" off the curb I get a ticket. If I get T-bonded by an illegal I will have to pay its medical bills and if I object I will likely be arrested.
