Mold in a shower is normal and easily killed by laundry bleach, mild
elsewhere is caused by water, either leaks or condensation in winter.
A humidity fan wont fix what you think it will and will trigger on a
rainy day bringing in more humidity.

Order this one:

http://www.ontimemall.com/nortec-1151-0142-modulating-duct-mount-humidistat..html

It's on sale for $930 but you won't have to spend $250 on a new fan.
