The frequency of use depends on the humidity levels in your environment. In damp conditions, running the dehumidifier continuously or as needed is recommended.

The dehumidifier works by drawing in humid air and passing it over cooling coils containing a refrigerant, which condenses moisture in the air into liquid water. The cooling process results in the release of heat. Therefore, the air leaving the coils is warmer than the incoming air.

Dehumidifier are most effective in areas with poor ventilation, such as basements or bathrooms. With a water tank included, you can place it centrally in the room to allow for better air circulation, or position it near the drain hose in your house for convenient water drainage.

Energy Star certified models of dehumidifiers are more efficient primarily because they adhere to stringent energy efficiency standards set by the program. These models incorporate advanced technologies such as efficient compressors and optimized fan motors, which reduce energy consumption while maintaining effective moisture removal capabilities.

Yes, the dehumidifier can work in winter as it's designed to operate effectively at lower temperature. However, please note that as the air is relatively dry in winter, the dehumidifier may not function when your space temperature falls below 41°F.
