Description
A dehumidifier also helps prevent damage to walls and foundations from excess moisture. Wood furniture, fabrics and carpets will last
longer and smell better with proper humidity. Many electronic devices operate best in a controlled environment. And finally, maintaining proper humidity helps reduce allergens.
Comfort-Aire dehumidifiers are designed to efficiently and quietly remove moisture from the air—and to look good doing it! Compact, sleek cabinets are stone white in color and roll easily from room to room on durable casters.
Comfort-Aire dehumidifiers come in sizes to effectively handle a variety of conditions and a wide range of space requirements, including new units with built-in pumps for fastest direct drain removal of condensation.
Key Features
- Automatic Water Level Shut-Off – When the drain bucket is full, the unit automatically shuts off, then displays a “Full” light
- Drain Options – Condensed water can be collected in the removable bucket, or continously drained through the direct drain with included adapter kit. Units with built-in self-priming pumps can remove condensate through the pump drain with hose provided

- Auto Restart – All models automatically resume operation after a power outage, ideal for second homes or offices, as well as primary residences

Dehumidifier capacity is rated in liter per day (24 hour period). The table below is a guideline for the capacity necessary to dehumidify areas of various sizes and conditions.
Many Variables Can Affect The Amount Of Dehumidification Required, Including:
- Climate – hot, sticky conditions require extra capacity
- Number of people living in the space – the more people, the more capacity you’ll need
- Number of doors and windows – lots of openings let in more moisture
- Operation of laundry equipment – washers and dryers add moisture to the air, and the more loads done each day, the greater the amount of moisture in the air
To use the table, decide which condition best describes the home or space, then find the size of the area to be dehumidified.
If there’s any question about size, always choose the larger model. Remember – a unit can only remove moisture to its rated level. For dehumidification, oversizing is better than undersizing.
