More About Dehumidifier Specs

By Mike Sawbridgeworth


Dehumidifier specs differ from one model or brand name to the next, but all dehumidifiers are comparatively the same. They all will help reduce the moisture level within your home making your home more comfortable to live in and save you cash on cooling and heating expenses.

The very first dehumidifier specs you need to know before you purchase one is the amount of square footage the unit will cover. Measure the dimensions of the room or area that requires moisture reduction and keep that figure in mind when you go buy the dehumidifier.

Next, look at the range of humidity the machine can get rid of. A good range needs to be around 35-70 percent. You ought to be in a position to manually program the unit to an ideal 45-50% humidity in your house. Look for a unit that, once set, will remain at this setting, and turn itself back on, even if the power goes out. Also ensure at what temperature the system will begin to freeze up. If the basement area is the area of your property that requires dehumidification and temperature of the location is below 65 degrees, you have to purchase a unit which will function under these types of conditions.

When the temperature of the location goes below the required maximum working temperature of the unit, the unit will freeze up. The coils may condense and this condensation will freeze up as a result of refrigerant used to draw in the moisture in the air.

A minimal temperature unit will maintain optimum operating effectiveness at temperatures right down to 40 degrees before frost forms on the coils. Once frost does form over the coils the system should be shut down and allowed to defrost before starting up once more.

An additional aspect of getting the correct dehumidifier may be the size of the bucket. How much water does the dehumidifier carry and will it shut itself off when it gets full. Measurement is typically in pints and may vary from 40 pints to 65 pints to in excess of 100 pints based on the size of the machine.

Some units can be hooked to a hose pipe or come having a drainage pipe that will be run to a floor drain so there is certainly no need to drain a full, heavy bucket of water every day. If you're not able to buy a unit such as this then you will be subjected to lifting that container from the machine each day to empty it. The unit will shut itself off once the bucket reaches capacity.

If the square footage allows, you are able to buy a model that can be ducted to other rooms so the level of humidity can be maintained throughout your home and not just in one location.

You might have to take the weight of the unit into mind if you are planning to locate the unit on anything but the floor. An typical unit could weigh as much as 90 pounds or more at full capacity. Don't ever place the machine on anything that can't securely hold this sort of weight.

These dehumidifier specs ought to assist you to purchase the correct type of unit for your specific requirements.
