> - Show quoted text - Dehumidifiers creat heat, mine can raise basement temp 3f. Do you have AC. It depends on size , tightness of house, humidity level and temp of house. If its big leaky and humid you will need a big unit that may cost as much to run as AC and heat your home 2-5 degrees. Dehumidifiers are best when outside air is under maybe 65. You dont need a humidistat outside, its the inside you are doing. | |||||||||||||
