What Size Dehumidifier Do I Need?

Determining the size of the dehumidifier you need for your space is essential for ensuring optimal performance. The first step is to measure the area you would like to cool with the dehumidifier. 

Once you have the square footage, you can use the following chart to determine the correct dehumidifier size:

• Dehumidifier Size: 10-12 Pints/Day, Square Footage: 300-400 Sq. Ft.

What Is a Dehumidifier?

A dehumidifier is a device that removes moisture from the air. It works by removing the water from the air in a refrigerated condenser, which is then collected in a bucket or drained outside. 

There are several different types of dehumidifiers, including the following:

• Refrigerant Dehumidifier - This type of dehumidifier uses a compressor to remove moisture from the air. It collects the water in a bucket or drains it outside.
• Desiccant Dehumidifier - This type of dehumidifier uses a desiccant material to absorb moisture from the air. It then dries the air before releasing it back into your home.
• Electronic Dehumidifier - This type of dehumidifier uses an electric fan to pull air through a filter, which removes moisture from the air. It then releases the air back into your home.
• Belt Driven Dehumidifier - This type of dehumidifier uses a belt to turn a fan, which removes moisture from the air. It then releases the air back into your home.

If you're considering a dehumidifier for your home or business, it's important to consider the size and capacity of the unit to ensure it's the right fit for your space. For example, if you need to remove a lot of moisture from your space, you'll need a larger dehumidifier than if you only need to remove a small amount of moisture.

Why Should I Have My Dehumidifier Serviced?

Like any other appliance, a dehumidifier requires regular maintenance and service to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage. If you have a problem with your dehumidifier, it's important to have it serviced by a professional as soon as possible. A professional can identify the issue and either repair or replace the part that is causing the problem.
