Default HVAC question

Makes me wonder if the installers added a humidifier. If so,
it may be set too high. Please call whoever installed the
furnace, they are likely to know the details.

Hello,

I have a 2600 sq ft 4 level split home in Canada. It
was built in
1985. This past spring we replaced our very non-effecient
furnace with a
Tempstar 95% effecient gas furnace. It really is wonderful
as the old
furnace would cause the house to feel sort of drafty and
basement was always
cold etc... Now I have this furnace that I love to bits BUT
now since it has
gotten colder outside these past two weeks, we have kept the
doors and
windows closed and now have a high humidity problem inside
the home IE:
fogged up windows (triple pane)...air basically feels
clammy...bought a
humidistat and the house is sitting at around 50%
humidity.... we use
bathroom fans in the shower, and have a fan over the stove
when cooking that
we use all the time...we keep lids on pots on the stove
etc...We have no
children and only the two of us in this home so no long
lingering showers by
kids or anyone else....
I don't want to have to buy a dehumidifier over this
new furnace..
sort of defeats the idea of trying to be energy effecient...
Thinking of
trying to duct in an outside air source to feed the furnace?
Thoughts? Thanks... Jim
