I don't understand why you would need a dehumidifier to maintain a relative humidity of 55 percent in your house. I keep the heat pump thermostat set at 78 degrees all year, and the humidity never even comes to 55 percent. The humidity level in my house is almost always between 40 and 50 percent, with only heating and cooling, and no dehumidification at all.
