The only issue I have with a dehumidifier is that they actually warm the area around them...so if the airtap cools and dehumidifies...that would be great. I'll have to look into it a little more. I have a 40 gallon powervent NG heater now which works fine, but have no idea what the costs would be between the 2 (operating)... and if the airtap would work with the current heater or would i need a separate tank...
The problem I have with the A7 is all the cold air! In the wintertime,
it gets really cold down there in that corner. (dehumidifies too).
But, warmth coming up from the slab gets the basement back to normal in short order.

Check out the AirVent™ about half way down the page.
I read about one owner that used that duct to cool off his kitchen during the summer. Looks like a simple duct project for a DIYer.

The last gas DHW heater I looked at, had a big blower mounted on top.
No room up there for installing an A7.

If you are going to invest in an A7, and don't have a regular electric
DHW heater, it might be wise to buy one. That's what I did.
Hopefully it will last a long time. The new GE tanks seem well made.
