General Use

What does a dehumidifier do?

A dehumidifier is designed to remove excess moisture from the air to maintain a healthy indoor humidity level, typically between 40 – 60%.

When should I use a dehumidifier?

It is ideal to use a dehumidifier when the indoor humidity is high. This usually happens during the summer months or in typically damp areas such as basements and crawl spaces.

What humidity level should I set my dehumidifier to?

Set it between 45–55% for optimal comfort and to prevent mold growth.

Can I run a dehumidifier all the time?

Yes, especially in consistently damp environments. Look for models with automatic humidity control to save energy.

What size dehumidifier do I need?

This depends on the size of the room and the level of humidity you intend to tackle. For instance, regular dehumidification in average-sized rooms might only require a small dehumidifier. Larger, wetter spaces like basements or crawl spaces require higher-capacity or commercial-grade units.

How do dehumidifiers help with mold?

Mold needs moisture to grow. In humid conditions, its growth can be highly exacerbated. A dehumidifier reduces indoor humidity, helping to prevent and control mold buildup on walls, furniture, and hidden surfaces.

Placement

Where should I place my dehumidifier?
Put it in the dampest part of the room with good air circulation. Avoid placing it very close against walls, furniture, or curtains, which can restrict airflow and reduce performance.
Which rooms and areas are ideal dehumidifier placements?
Dehumidifiers are ideal for basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms, laundry rooms, storage areas, workshops, and garages—anywhere excess humidity is a concern or ventilation is poor.

Maintenance and Operation

How do I maintain my dehumidifier?
Regular dehumidifier maintenance ensures its peak performance.

Clean or replace the air filter every few weeks (or as recommended), wipe the unit’s exterior with a soft cloth, empty and sanitize the water tank regularly, and regularly check the drain hose if using continuous drainage.
Do dehumidifiers need regular filter replacement?
Yes. Most dehumidifiers have reusable or replaceable filters. Washable filters should be cleaned at least once a month. However, if your model uses replaceable filters, follow the manufacturer’s recommended schedule, usually ranging every 3 months.
