The power consumption of a dehumidifier is influenced by many factors, such as the airtightness of the space, the volume of the space, the moisture load and the cleanliness of the filter.
It is therefore impossible to say exactly how much electricity your dehumidifier will consume.
Some factors that affect electricity consumption and that you can influence yourself:
- Installation: It is important that the dehumidifier is installed according to the installation instructions. You can Download installation instructions for your dehumidifier here.
- Tightness of the space: Seal the space carefully. Check the seal during the day to make it easier to spot gaps and other openings.
- Moisture supplement crawl space: If the space is not airtight, the ground is poorly drained or the debris guards are broken, you will increase the moisture supply in your crawl space. Normally, there is always higher humidity in the crawl space during spring, summer and autumn.
- Moisture supplement cold wind: If the space is not airtight, there is no moisture barrier between the living area and the attic, and the gable vents are not sealed, you will increase the amount of moisture in your cold attic. Normally, humidity is always higher in the cold attic during winter and spring.
- Filter replacement: A sorption dehumidifier relies on air flow to dehumidify effectively. If the filter becomes dirty, the dehumidifier's capacity will be reduced. Therefore, ensure that you change the filter twice a year. You can Order filters for your dehumidifier here.
