Are dehumidifiers
costly?

intensively. This will gradually decrease within time, since the
dehumidifier will have been calibrated in its working
environment. Condensed households may sometime be
significantly expensive to heat. The use of a dehumidifier
may lower energy cost.
Where should the
dehumidifier be
placed ideally?
For optimal results, it is suggested that the dehumidifier is
placed in a central area. Doors within the household should be
open in order for the dehumidiifer to enhance its operation.
