How to Choose the Best Dehumidifier
Summary
A dehumidifier functions similarly to an air conditioner, with coils and a fan that work together to remove moisture from the air. The cold coils condense moisture, and the dry air is warmed back to its original temperature through hot coils. While air conditioners can dehumidify, they may not suffice in every situation. Here's how to select the right dehumidifier for your needs.
Considerations for Buying a Dehumidifier
Types of Dehumidifiers
1. Heat Pump Dehumidifiers
- These units are more advanced and often more affordable than expected, especially in the spring when discounts are available. Prices can range from $50 to $100 off.
2. Two-Speed Fan Dehumidifiers
- Ideal for reducing noise and increasing comfort. Always test the unit’s noise level if it will be placed near bedrooms.
3. Capacity Ratings
- For small homes, a dehumidifier with a 10-liter (21 U.S. pints or 2.1 imperial gallons) per day rating may suffice, typically costing between $200 and $250.
- For larger homes, look for a unit with a 20-liter (42 U.S. pints or 4.2 imperial gallons) per day capacity, costing around $250 to $300.
4. Chemical Absorbent Dehumidifiers
- Best suited for hot and humid climates, and not recommended for other environments.
Additional Features to Consider
- Efficiency Factor (EF)
- The EF indicates the unit's operational cost. Check for this rating on the brochure, manual, or near the water collection bucket.
- Manufacturer Reputation
- Choose dehumidifiers from reputable manufacturers, ensuring quality, warranties, and guarantees.
Conclusion
Selecting the right dehumidifier involves considering your home's size, climate, and specific needs. By focusing on capacity, efficiency, and manufacturer reputation, you can find a unit that effectively controls moisture and enhances the comfort of your living space.
