What does the Garvee G-AD35PT cost to run per year?

The Garvee G-AD35PT costs about $68 a year to run, a middle-of-the-pack figure at rank #281 of 519. Once capacity is factored in, it outperforms 92% of the dehumidifier models we track on efficiency, not just on headline running cost. Its IEF of 2.01 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.

Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Aux ADT35V1 at $68/yr runs a little cheaper and the Waykar CHWA120A at $68/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 Garvee G-AD35PT's $68/yr adds up to roughly $544 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

Also sold as: Aux ADT35V1.

What it costs you over time

Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $68/yr, here is what the Garvee G-AD35PT adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.

1 year$68
5 years$340
10 years$680

Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Garvee G-AD35PT costs about $680. That is roughly $40 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.

How the Garvee G-AD35PT compares

The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $68/yr, it runs about $4 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $49 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.

What drives its running cost

At 36.9 pints/day, the Garvee G-AD35PT is a mid-size dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, putting it squarely in the middle of the class on the size lever that drives most of the cost. Beyond size, its IEF of 2.01, 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 Garvee G-AD35PT cheap to run?

It is about average. At $68 a year it ranks #281 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.

How much does the Garvee G-AD35PT cost per month?

Roughly $5.71/mo, spreading the $68/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 369 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $68 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.

How efficient is the Garvee G-AD35PT for its size?

92nd percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
