Default whole house dehumidifier

Pretty close. It takes a bunch of energy to condense water.
There is a LOT of heat needed to boil water. And when you
condense the water, it releases a lot of heat. Might be
better off with a window AC, with the condensate draining
into a drain.

Window AC are designed to run the condensate to the outdoor
end of the unit, and splash the water onto the condensor
(hot radiator). I've got mine modified, so it drips outdoors
and keeps the condensor dry.

Hi,

I hate to run the cooling feature of my A/C when the
problem is the
humidity and not the temperature. Is there such a thing
as a humidifier
that gets hooked into your A/C system and removes the
moisture from the
circulating air? DAGS gave some positive results, but no
clear cut answer.

Thanks

Aaron


Thats what the AC does, just think of it as free cool air
and turn it
on, unless your system is oversized.


So, in my basement, where I'm running a dehumidifier in the
summer,
would it cost the same to run an air conditioner?
