A dehumidifier can cost between $52 to $185. Depends on the brand and the size of it.
The HEPA filters cost considerably more.Around fifteen dollars is typical
The voltage is irrelevant. You must know the wattage or kW used then multiply that # times what you pay per kWh.
A dehumidifier is pretty much the same device as an air conditioner. It has a compressor which uses freon to create a cold surface for water to condense on. The fan only is a simple fan that moves air. The fan is the smallest electrical draw as opposed to the dehumidifier. The fan can have a current draw of as little as 1/10 of an amp when the dehumidifier can have a current draw as much as 15 amps when the compressor is running.
It depends on how much water is in the air to start with and how big the dehumidifier is. Air temperature is also a major factor, cold air can't hold much water whereas warm air can. All a dehumidifier does is drop the air temperature below its dew point making it give up some of the water it holds.
The dehumidifier removes excess humidity from the air.
The best small dehumidifier on the market is the Eva-Dry E-333 Mini Dehumidifier.
The best small bathroom dehumidifier on the market is the hOmeLabs Small Space Dehumidifier.
It will lower the latent heat load so the a/c has more sensible capacity, but the cost of running the dehumidifier will negate any energy savings you may be expecting. As a dehumidifier is just a smaller a/c unit with the warm condenser coil downstream of the cooling coil so as not to provide any cooling effect.
Dehumidifier should be cleaned yearly. Proper maintenance is important for the dehumidifier to work properly. anonymous@oola.com
