What Size Dehumidifier Do I Need?

The first step in choosing a dehumidifier for your home is to determine the size of unit you will need. The best way to do this is by calculating the amount of space you want to be climate controlled, then using the manufacturer's recommended capacity for that space. You will find this information in the user manual or on the unit's rating plate.

Pints are the most common unit of measurement that you can use to determine how much moisture is in the air. A dehumidifier with a rating of 10 pints can remove 10 pints of moisture from the air in 24 hours. A dehumidifier with a rating of 10 gallons can remove 10 gallons of moisture from the air in one hour. This is a good unit of measurement to use when you want to cool a small space, such as a bedroom, but you do not want to invest in a large dehumidifier.

How Do I Know If I Need a Dehumidifier Repair?

You should call a dehumidifier repair technician if you notice that your unit is not working properly. If your dehumidifier is making strange noises, leaking water or refrigerant, or not removing moisture from the air, you should call a professional for dehumidifier repair.

Some common signs that your dehumidifier needs repair include:

• The unit is making strange noises
• The unit is leaking water
• The unit is not performing to the expected standard

When you notice that your dehumidifier is not working properly, it is best to call a repair technician as soon as possible. If you wait until the problem gets worse, you may end up needing to replace the system rather than repair it.
