Just buy a dehumifier. Plug it in, turn the dial to the desired level, done - problem solved.

And the plus is you would gain more dehumidification with less use of energy.
I have doubt about this claim of using less energy, but have not performed the calculations. Have you?
well, in our case the dehumidifier draws about 300W and will pull as much as 10 gallons of water out of the air each day if needed. worst case we only need to run it at night and maybe a few hours during the day. Most of the time running it for a few hours in the morning then again for a few hours in the afternoon is more than adequate.
so worst power draw is about the same as running the AC for a few hours. or a heater for a few hours. Typically like running the AC OR heater for an hour. and it works in the background, no need to fuss about heater vs AC, and it's convienient, worth something.
