Dehumidifier
Ed Kaz wrote:
I have just purshased a kenmore 64 quart dehumidifier for my basement and have a few questions. 1. Does dehumidifier produce heat?? (it was cool in the basement before installation). 2. Can I install it in a wall. I have a wall that seperates the work area from the kids play room. Does the back of this unit have to be in the same room (filter on back)?? Thanks for any help. Ed 64 quart, 16 gallons. Is that the size of the tank? Mine can't be more than 5 gallons. Whatever, try to find a spot where you can run a hose to a drain. The unit shuts off when the tank is full. The tank is a pain. Dumping it is one of those things you will forget about. It will likely take several days, to a week to get the humidity down. If the unit shuts off and you forget about it, the humidity will build back up in a few days. Right back where you started. Your basement will warm up, probably more than you want. Mounting in a wall shouldn't be a problem, just give it plenty of room to breath. Set it about half way then play it by ear. Mine's been going for about 15 years. Have to admit I tend to forget about it for a few years at a time. |
