So I finished my garage this year and I've found the air to be pretty humid now. I'm worried in the winter with all the melting snow off cars it could lead to problems.

I bought a plug-in floor unit on Saturday that was able to bring the humidity down from 75% to 40% and it's been working like a champ for the past few days since I bought it. I've just been emptying the bucket every 24 hours and it usually is only half full.

Last night, though, with two wet cars in the garage, the bucket went from empty to full (it probably has a six liter capacity) sometime during the night, which shuts the unit off. This morning the humidity was over 80% in there.

I think I need a hard-wired unit that vents to the outside. Anybody know who I'd call to make this happen? Is there something else I should do to lower the humidity?
