Fix Existing Problems
Even the best dehumidifier might not work effectively if too much moisture seeps into your home from the outside. Unclogging gutters and making sure downspouts are directing rainwater at least 5 feet from the dwelling can help. Keeping windows and exterior doors closed can prevent humid air from entering your home.
Size Up Your Space
Consult our dehumidifier sizing guide&#;which offers step-by-step instructions and a handy chart&#;to help determine the ideal model for your space. In general, you&#;re better off with a somewhat larger unit.
Consider Noise
If you&#;re planning to put a dehumidifier in a bedroom, opt for a model that operates quietly. To narrow your search, consider buying one of the quietest dehumidifiers to pass through our labs. All deliver strong performance overall.
Consider Tank Capacity
Dehumidifiers with small tanks&#;under 15 pints&#;need to be emptied more often than those with larger ones. If that&#;s a concern for you, pay attention to the tank size when viewing the specs on our dehumidifier ratings chart.
Determine Whether You Need a Drain Pump
The most hassle-free way to drain a dehumidifier is with a pump. CR&#;s ratings indicate which models come with one. Drain pumps can also be used to expel water to an elevated location, a nice feature to have in a basement, says engineer Misha Kollontai, who oversees our dehumidifier tests.

Here in Eastern North Carolina, humidity levels are high throughout much of the year. But because warm air holds more moisture than cool air, humidity-related problems tend to develop in the spring and worsen over the summer months, when outdoor levels peak. This makes spring the ideal time to learn about the advantages of purchasing a dehumidifier if you have a moisture problem.
Your heat pump or air conditioner draws moisture from the air during the cooling process, but it can get overwhelmed when humidity levels are high. Struggling to cope with that extra moisture increases your cooling equipment&#;s workload and your energy bills. Your overwhelmed equipment also won&#;t cool as effectively, which can leave your home feeling too warm and sticky regardless of the thermostat&#;s temperature setting. Other problems can develop too, such as:
A whole house dehumidifier that&#;s integrated into your HVAC system can make controlling humidity effortless. You simply set a desired humidity range on the humidistat or your thermostat, and the unit cycles on and off automatically.
Keeping indoor humidity in check can give you a more comfortable home and healthier air quality. It will also protect your home&#;s finishes, your belongings and furniture from moisture damage. Running a dehumidifier will lessen the workload on your HVAC system as well, which can help prolong its lifespan. And because dehumidified air feels cooler, you can save energy by increasing your usual thermostat setting several degrees without sacrificing comfort.
