Where should I place my dehumidifier? The best place for a dehumidifier is the room you need it in most. Dehumidifiers are commonly placed in bedrooms, basements, laundry rooms, crawl spaces, and indoor pool areas since these areas often have moisture problems.

Will a dehumidifier do the whole house?

Can one dehumidifier do a whole house? Yes, of course. But for a dehumidifier to serve a whole house, it must be the whole house dehumidifier type. As earlier said, these units are able to serve up to 5000sqft or more, which is around the typical size of most homes today.

Can one dehumidifier do multiple rooms?

Can a dehumidifier work in more than one room at a time? A dehumidifier is going to be most effective in the one room it is in. If you have multiple rooms connected by open doorways with a very open floor plan, then the dehumidifier is more likely to be able to work in those other rooms as well.

Should I have a dehumidifier in each room?

A dehumidifier is going to be most effective in the one room it is in. However, if you have multiple rooms separate by doors or long hallways, you may need to move the dehumidifier from room to room as needed.

Should I run my dehumidifier at night?

When you first operate your dehumidifier, it would be good practise to run it continuously until the RH falls below the 60% mark or fills up the water tank, which ever comes first. Once RH is below 60% you can then use the dehumidifier during day and off during the night.

Does a dehumidifier increase your electric bill?

As we have established in our post about dehumidifier energy use, dehumidifiers dont represent a big electricity expenditure. You can run a small 30-pint dehumidifier for 10 hours and spend less than $1 for that. Between $0.03 and $0.16 per hour. If you run a dehumidifier 24/7, that amounts to $0.72 to $3.84 per day.
