Model
Santa Fe 4047300
Rank #511 means 510 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 99th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 99% of those models.
What does the Santa Fe 4047300 cost to run per year?
The Santa Fe 4047300 costs about $156 a year to run, sitting in the very bottom slice of the cheapest-to-run leaderboard, rank #511 of 519. Efficiency-wise, once its capacity is accounted for, it edges out 99% of the class, about as strong a result as this ranking produces. At a IEF of 3.26, its integrated energy factor is the single figure that best explains how it earns its running-cost number.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Aprilaire E100 at $152/yr runs a little cheaper and the Deverse D025H-25Pt3 at $164/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 Santa Fe 4047300's $156/yr adds up to roughly $1248 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Santa Fe 4047300 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 $156/yr, here is what the Santa Fe 4047300 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Santa Fe 4047300 costs about $1560. That is roughly $920 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Santa Fe 4047300 compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $156/yr, it runs about $92 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $137 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 127.51 pints/day, the Santa Fe 4047300 is a large dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, size is usually the single biggest lever behind a running-cost figure, and at this end of the range there is more capacity to service, which tends to push the number up. Its IEF of 3.26, above the class median of 2.01, reflects integrated energy factor: a higher figure means it wrings more useful work out of every kilowatt-hour, so it is the efficiency lever to weigh against raw size.
- 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 Santa Fe 4047300 cheap to run?
Not especially. At $156 a year it ranks #511 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 Santa Fe 4047300 cost per month?
Roughly $13.02/mo, spreading the $156/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 842 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $156 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Santa Fe 4047300 for its size?
99th 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.
