If your planning on spending a lot of time down there, I’d suggest putting in the vents if cost effective. A dehumidifier is certainly an option, but it’ll cause noise pollution if your watching tv, hobbies etc…

Edit: something to consider

Good point. I have seen them, however, that run off a timer. Perhaps I can turn them on overnight?

Yeah, don’t want to dissuade you from them. Just purchased one a few months back. home brand. Around $200 Good reviews, settings for auto humidity levels etc. seems to be a good product.

Np. In addition, my basement is 1300sqr ft. I had left the vents closed over the summer to save on ac costs. It got a lil “damp” after awhile. Plugged that thing in and within a week was comfortably dry. Good luck!
