Cost To Run Dehumidifier In Crawl Space

How much does it cost to run a dehumidifier in crawl space for 24 hours?

The cost to run a dehumidifier in a crawl space for 24 hours can vary depending on several factors, including the size and efficiency of the dehumidifier, the humidity level in the crawl space, and the cost of electricity in your area.

To calculate the cost, you will need to know the wattage of the dehumidifier and the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in your area. Most dehumidifiers have a wattage rating listed on the product label or in the user manual.

Assuming an electricity cost of $0.12 per kWh, and a 70 pint dehumidifier with a wattage rating of 700W running for 24 hours, the cost would be:

(700W/1000) x 24 hours x $0.12 per kWh = $2.02 per day

This is just an estimate, and the actual cost may be higher or lower depending on the specific circumstances. It is important to choose an energy efficient dehumidifier and to use it only when necessary to help keep costs down.
