Selection a size of dehumidifier is very important because if the dehumidifier which you buy is too large it will make you waste money. Reverse, if you have too small dehumidifier, humidity in your home it wasn’t decrease. For the best quality, right size you should to read this suggestion. Last time, I publish “How to choose your best dehumidifier” If it isn’t make you to decide the right size you I advise you to read this article. I believe it will help you to buy the right size and cheap dehumidifier.
- Determine your needs. Figure out whether you need a dehumidifier for your entire house or just one room, and how much moisture you want to remove from the air.
- Measure the width and length of the room. Multiply those two
measurements to find the overall square footage. - Buy a dehumidifier that covers more square footage than what the room measures. When you measure 900 square feet, for example, purchase a dehumidifier that covers 1000 square footage.
- Consider the room environment when sizing the dehumidifier. A space that feels damp to the skin is moderately damp and will need a unit that will remove 10 pints of water per 500 square foot of space. Rooms that smell musty and are very damp will need a larger unit that can remove 12 pints in the same amount of time. Wet rooms that feel and smell wet will need up to 14 pints of water removed for a 500 square foot area.
- Add approximately 3 pints of capacity for every additional 500 square
foot of room space for that particular environment. In other words, a moderately damp room with 1500 square feet will require a unit that removes 18 pints a day. The very damp area of the same size will have to remove 22 pints a day. The wet room requires a large unit that can pull 26 pints of moisture from the air. - Choose the more powerful one if you are unsure or stuck between dehumidifiers.
- Research the cost and warranties offered. It is always safe to have a warranty in case the product does not perform as advertised.
Good luck! I feel you will have the best dehumidifier in your home soon.
