have central air conditioning, you already have a dehumidifier and it should be adequate if the A/C is sized properly.
Depending on the construction of the home, additional humidification may not be required. Consult with the local wholesaler rgarding capacity for a humidifier. Tell them what you have, and they can usually recommend one. Just make sure you can connect it to your ductwork.

I have a finished basement that is 1800 sq feet and has 8 rooms with doors. I have a 90+ furnace and a 2 ton condensing unit with supply returns for each room. can you please recommend a dehumidifier that can accommodate this size. also do I need a humidifier install on the plenum for this size basement0 -
dehumidifier
What is the source of the moisture that you are going to try to remove with a dehumidifier? The Aprilaire 1700 appears to be a good whole house unit. Do you need this or is a single room the problem?0 -
Model 1700
Look at the Aprilaire Model 1700 (aprilaire.com)0 -
so, no humidifier is necessary also0 -
Condensing
Most condensing furnaces are sealed combustion so that is one less humidity stealer. You won't know if you need a humidifier until this winter, some people have tight houses, lots of plants and lots of showers and lots of unvented cooking ect. and the humidity is fine. I have a condensing furnace in a well insulated but still a 1970 house and I need one to keep the humidity above 35% in the winter where most people find it comfortable. You can always add a humidifier, if you get one buy the outdoor sensor so you don't need to mess with it and plan on changing the water panel and cleaning it once a year.0 -
humidifier
we've tried the major brands of panel types and they all have +and- things on them. if you want something that works really well you should geta Nortec. they are pricy but superior in everyway
