Model
Garvee G-AD50PT
Rank #358 means 357 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 90th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 90% of those models.
What does the Garvee G-AD50PT cost to run per year?
At about $94 a year, the Garvee G-AD50PT costs more to run than most dehumidifier models we track, rank #358 of 519. Size-adjusted, this model beats 90% of dehumidifier models we track on efficiency, one of the stronger results in its class. The IEF figure of 2.01 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Aux ADT50V1 at $94/yr runs a little cheaper and the Zafro D026W-50Pt3M at $94/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-AD50PT's $94/yr adds up to roughly $752 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Aux ADT50V1.
By the numbers
The Garvee G-AD50PT 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 $94/yr, here is what the Garvee G-AD50PT adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Garvee G-AD50PT costs about $940. That is roughly $300 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Garvee G-AD50PT compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $94/yr, it runs about $30 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $75 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 49.67 pints/day, the Garvee G-AD50PT 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 2.01, 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). 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 Garvee G-AD50PT cheap to run?
Its $94/yr running cost, rank #358 of 519, is above what most dehumidifier models we track cost to run, so this is not one of the cheaper picks on electricity alone.
How much does the Garvee G-AD50PT cost per month?
About $7.8 a month, which is the $94 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: 504 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $94 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Garvee G-AD50PT for its size?
90th 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.
