Also question is, can heater reduce humidity?

Air conditioners and dehumidifiers are the same machine -- just different exhaust mechanisms. They both remove water from the air, thus reducing actual and relative humidity. Heaters raise the air temperature, thus reducing the relative humidity (but not, in general, the actual humidity).

Furthermore, do high efficiency furnaces increase humidity? High efficient furnaces do create condensation internally but not humidity in the home. Therefore, this condensation which is created by a high efficient furnace should never increase the humidity in your home.

Besides, how do I lower the humidity in my furnace?

Turn the humidistat to the off position or the lowest percent of relative humidity. The humidistat is usually installed on the return air plenum above or near the humidifier, but sometimes it is installed on the wall near your thermostat. Close the bypass duct damper or turn it to the Summer position.

Does humidity make AC work harder?

Air conditioners cool homes by removing heat and moisture from the air. When humidity levels are excessive, they need to work a lot harder. If the equipment doesn't have sufficient cooling capacity, it may be unable to cope with extreme humidity. As a result, the home may never feel truly comfortable.
