For winter, get a standalone dehumidifer--which also acts as a 600-800 watt
heater.


The OP said he didn't require heating. I think you're a bit on the
high side in your heat output estimate. I think 400 watts for a
residential unit would be more realistic. You're dropping the
relative humidity which will affect latent heat, and the units
themselves only draw 600-800 watts. Even a heating element isn't 100%
efficient.
