Based on reading a number of post about leaving the house for long periods, I now realize I need a dehumidistat installed. I could use some help with how I go about doing so.

Based on some remarks I've read, I know I need a contractor that knows what they are doing and also guarantees their workmanship. I would appreciate any recommendations for such a person.

Do I purchase a dehumidistat through the installation contractor or do I purchase it myself? If I purchase myself, where do I do so? It looks like Honeywell gets most of the hits on google. Is there another brand that is known to be more reliable?

I would also appreciating any pricing ranges I should expect to pay. This is our first time needing such a unit and I have no idea what a fair price is, so any input would be appreciated.

As always....thanx!
