Basement Dehumidifier Tips
- 1. Get a unit with a built-in pump if you don't have a floor drain. Pumps can push water uphill to sinks or out windows.
- 2. Auto-restart is essential for basements. If power goes out, the unit restarts automatically.
- 3. Look for auto-defrost if your basement gets cold. This prevents ice buildup on coils.
- 4. Consider noise level if you have living space above. 50dB+ can be heard upstairs.
- 5. Place away from walls - leave 6-12 inches clearance for airflow.
These calculations are estimates based on general guidelines. Actual performance may vary based on specific conditions.
