Model
Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080*
Rank #514 means 513 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 2nd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 2% of those models.
What does the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* cost to run per year?
At $190 a year to run, the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* is among the most expensive to run in its class, ranking #514 of 519 dehumidifier models we track. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 2 is the lowest kind of result this ranking shows. The IEF figure of 2.35 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Aprilaire E130 at $172/yr runs a little cheaper and the Healthy Climate HCWHD#-080 at $190/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A dehumidifier typically stays in service for somewhere around 8 years; over that span, the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080*'s $190/yr adds up to roughly $1520 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs. At rank #514 of 519, it sits at the very top of the cost range for its class, among the single priciest models we track to run.
Also sold as: Healthy Climate HCWHD#-080.
By the numbers
The Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* normalized against its whole class, so each figure means something.
What it costs you over time
Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $190/yr, here is what the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* costs about $1900. That is roughly $1260 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $190/yr, it runs about $126 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $171 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 65 pints/day, the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* is a large dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, among dehumidifier models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal. Beyond size, its IEF of 2.35, above the class median of 2.01, is the class's own efficiency yardstick, integrated energy factor, and it is what separates two similarly sized models with different running costs.
- Integrated Energy Factor (IEF). Two dehumidifiers rated for the same pints per day can carry very different IEF figures, and IEF is what actually separates their running costs.
- Water removal capacity (pints/day). Pints-per-day rating scales with the space it is built for, and that rating is the first driver of how much power the compressor needs.
- Humidistat accuracy. How tightly a humidistat holds its target humidity determines how much of the day the compressor actually runs, on top of the unit's rated capacity and IEF.
Common questions
Is the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* cheap to run?
Not especially. At $190 a year it ranks #514 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* cost per month?
Roughly $15.82/mo, spreading the $190/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 1,023 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $190 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Carrier Corporation DEHXXCDA1080* for its size?
2nd percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
