Cost Comparison
Should you buy two standard appliance-grade dehumidfiers or one high-capacity dehumidifier to handle extremely wet conditions?
| Two Dehumidifiers | Approximate Purchase Price | Estimated Monthly Operating Cost | ||
| One 40-pint Unit | $350 | $36 | ||
| One 25-pint Unit | $250 | $23 | ||
| TOTAL | $600 | $59 | ||
| High-Capacity Dehumidifier | Approximate Purchase Price | Estimated Monthly Operating Cost | ||
| One 100-pint Unit* | $1150 | $20 |
In this example, you save $39 per month in operating costs by purchasing the high-capacity unit. After 11 months of operation, the electricity savings will pay for the higher purchase price of the high-capacity unit. From then on, you save money for each month of operation.
Comparison is based on 7.5 cents kWh, 24-hour operation, and 80°F 60% relative humidity.
