Model
Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00
Rank #79 means 78 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 66th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 66% of those models.
What does the Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 cost to run per year?
The Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 holds rank #79 of 519 on running cost, at about $48 a year, a genuinely cheap result for the class. Size-adjusted, this model beats 66% of dehumidifier models we track on efficiency, better than most of its class. Its IEF of 2.05 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Aeronova ADC018 at $48/yr runs a little cheaper and the Avylo ADC018 at $48/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 Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00's $48/yr adds up to roughly $384 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Aeronova ADC018.
By the numbers
The Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 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 $48/yr, here is what the Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 costs about $480. That is roughly $160 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $48/yr, it runs about $16 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $29 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 24.5 pints/day, the Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 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 2.05, 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). IEF measures liters of water removed per kilowatt-hour; a higher IEF means less energy per pint of moisture removed for a given capacity.
- Water removal capacity (pints/day). A dehumidifier rated to remove more pints per day is built for a larger space or a more humid room, and generally draws more power to do it.
- Humidistat accuracy. A unit with a more precise humidistat cycles the compressor off once the target humidity is reached, rather than running continuously.
Common questions
Is the Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 cheap to run?
Yes. Its $48/yr running cost puts it at rank #79 of 519, below what most dehumidifier models we track cost to run.
How much does the Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 cost per month?
About $3.97 a month, which is the $48 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 257 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $48 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Aeronova DH-YS018US25-A00 for its size?
66th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
