For Electric Customers
A dehumidifier removes moisture in the air, lowering humidity levels in your home. Humid air can lead to feelings of overheating, dangerous molds and structural damage to your home and items that are sensitive to moisture. Maintaining humidity levels is important for your health and for the condition of your home and your belongings.
The electricity saved by an ENERGY STAR® certified dehumidifier could power your refrigerator for five months.
