Efficient basement dehumidification? (self.homeimprovement)

submitted 1 year ago by bbbbb to c/homeimprovement

I have 2 standard freestanding units in my basement and crawlspace running 24/7. I want to get something more energy efficient, will last a while, and that's easy to maintain. I am considering an Aprileaire dehumidifier. Based on this https://www.energystar.gov/productfinder/product/certified-dehumidifiers/results it would appear they have a high efficiency rating. Does anyone have experience with these or recommendations on solutions?

Hey thanks for chiming in with your experience! Sounds like I won’t be able to rely on it as an end-all solution. Like the other post above, I also have a heat pump upstairs and a boiler in the basement, so there are a couple other devices I’d like to play with to play with balancing the humidity to save the dedicated dehumidifier for only times it’s really needed
