re: Dehumidifier question

UPDATE: Got it in and turned on yesterday at about 5:00.. when I did humidity was reading at 66% on my ecobee, and 55% on the unit. By 9:00 ish the unit was reading 45 and ecobee was reading low 50's.... it's not huge but I could notice a difference in comfort. I didn't feel like I was suffocating as much when the AC kicked off. Will be interested to see how it goes as it keeps running...I have really high ceilings and my living room is a giant cased opening from my kitchen which also has high ceilings so it's a lot of air to dry out.

If you want a whole house dehumidifier as part of the central system, go to HVAC-TALK and search the residential section. Lots of discussions

Can you inspect your ductwork at all? You mentioned the returns go out to the garage. It really sounds like you might have some very leaky ductwork pulling outside air in.
You are sorta putting a bandaid on a bullet wound. If you can fix the source instead of treating the symptoms, it will likely save you several hundred $ on your electric bills over the years. It might be something that can be fixed in 5 minutes with some duct tape.
