Cost of Running a Dehumidifier Revealed - Is It Cheaper than a Heated Airer?
Dehumidifiers cost about 73p less per load and save £75 annually compared to tumble dryers, while also reducing indoor moisture and mould risks, Uswitch.com reports.
- Uswitch.com analysis found dehumidifiers deliver a yearly saving of £75.46 compared with using a tumble dryer, with per-load costs about 73p cheaper than a typical 3kWh cycle.
- During the winter months it is harder to dry clothes indoors, prompting people to dry on radiators or airers which releases moisture into homes, while dehumidifiers remove excess moisture to help prevent mould and musty smells.
- An 185W dehumidifier costs about 10p per load, while a 3kWh tumble dryer costs roughly 83p, according to Uswitch.com.
- Households must weigh the dehumidifier's upfront cost against long-term savings and alternatives like a 300W heated airer.
- Another comparison shows dehumidifiers can be about £68.89 cheaper per year compared with tumble dryers in certain circumstances, and readers may still ask whether they are cheaper than heated airers, Uswitch.com comparisons suggest.
