Dehumidifier solutions for basement humidity control

Studies have shown that as much as 40% of the air in your home comes up from your basement or crawlspace. This makes basement humidity control a very important factor when looking at improving air quality in your home.

Basement humidity levels are commonly above 60% based on the damp nature of a basement environment. Left untreated these conditions will promote mold, mildew, and bacteria growth. This growth will cause allergens, musty odors, dust mites and numerous other problems in your home. If you or someone in your home has asthma or some other type of respiratory problem it might be a good idea to have a basement evaluation.

The American Lung Association, American Medical Association, and the EPA all recommend maintaining relative humidity levels in the 30% - 50% range in order to help eliminate these allergens. Ventilation and air conditioning alone cannot provide the basement humidity control you can get from our dehumidifier solutions.

Operating Cost Comparison 

The cost/pint has been calculated using the "Energy Factor" established by Energy Star Ratings and multiplied by an electricity cost $0.15/kWh (New England Average)
The annual operating cost for each unit includes adjustments for CFM capacity and is based on removing 14 pints/day from a moderatly damp (750-1000sf) basement .

The efficiency of the "Santa Fe Classic", as well as other "Santa Fe" dehumidifiers consistently outperforms the competition by 2 to 1 when it comes to keeping your basement dry.
