Full Basement Dehumidifier

A full basement dehumidifier is a dehumidification system specifically designed to effectively control moisture levels in larger basement areas. These units are capable of handling the high humidity levels often found in full-sized basement spaces.

Here are some features and considerations to keep in mind when looking for a full basement dehumidifier:

1. Capacity:

   • Since full basements tend to be larger spaces, you'll need a dehumidifier with a high capacity. Look for models that can remove a significant amount of moisture per day, typically measured in pints.

2. Coverage Area:

   • Consider the square footage of your basement. Make sure the dehumidifier's capacity matches or exceeds the size of the area.

3. Energy Efficiency:

   • Choose an energy efficient dehumidifier that is Energy Star certified. This indicates that the unit meets specific energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

4. Humidistat:

   • A humidistat allows you to set a desired humidity level. The dehumidifier will then cycle on and off to maintain that level, saving energy by not running unnecessarily.

5. Continuous Drainage Option:

   • Look for a basement dehumidifier with drain hose that offers the option for continuous drainage. This allows you to connect a hose so that collected water is automatically drained, eliminating the need for manual emptying.

6. Auto-Defrost Feature:

   • This feature is important if your basement gets particularly cold, especially in winter. It prevents the coils from freezing and allows the dehumidifier to operate efficiently.

7. Noise Level:

   • Consider the noise level of the dehumidifier, especially if you spend a lot of time in your basement. Quieter units may be more suitable if noise is a concern.

8. Size and Portability:

   • Consider the size and weight of the dehumidifier, especially if you may need to move it around. Some models come with wheels for easier mobility.
