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

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.

Sorry, but it is surely 100% efficient, in that all the energy
delivered to
it (not dissipated in transmission) is transferred to local load.

And, for winter, the dehumidifier does not dissipate energy outdoors,
which, for this discussion, is as good as it gets.
