How much energy does a dehumidifier of Bloomfold use?

A dehumidifier is a handy device to keep the humidity in the house under control, especially in damp rooms such as the basement, bathroom, or living room. But just like any electrical device, it costs energy. How much energy does a dehumidifier use and what does it cost? In this blog we dive into the energy needs of air dehumidifiers and we give you an idea of ​​the costs involved. 

Energy consumption of a dehumidifier

The energy consumption of a dehumidifier depends on various factors:

1. Capacity of the dehumidifier

The greater the capacity of the dehumidifier, the more energy he usually uses. For example, a dehumidifier consumes 12L Model less power than one 20L or 25L Model, simply because larger models need more power to dehummer larger spaces.

2. Degree of humidity

The energy consumption also depends on the humidity in the room. A dehumidifier will have to work harder in a very moist space, leading to higher energy consumption. If the humidity in your space is constantly high, the dehumidifier will run longer and more often.

Energy consumption of Bloomfold dehumidifiers

Bloomfold offers a variety of dehumidifiers in different capacities, from 12L to 25L per day. Here is an overview of the average energy consumption for the different models:

• 12L model: This compact model consumes on average 185 Watt per hour. It is ideal for smaller spaces, such as bedrooms or small living rooms.
• 16l model: This model consumes approximately 300-350 Watt per hour. Suitable for medium -sized rooms such as a larger living room or a kitchen area.
• 20L model: With a capacity of 350-400 Watt This model is suitable for larger spaces such as cellars, large living rooms or workspaces per hour.
• 25L model: The most powerful model consumes around the 400-450 Watt per hour and is ideal for spaces that must be continuously dehumidified, such as damp cellars or storage spaces.
  
  

How much does the consumption of energy cost?

Now let's convert energy consumption into costs. The average electricity price in the Netherlands is around the € 0.22 per kWh. To get an idea of ​​the costs, you can use the following calculations:

Example 20L dehumidifier

Consumption: 400 Watt per hour = 0.4 kWh per hour.

Use per day: 3 hours a day.

Energy consumption per day: 0.4 kWh x 3 hours = 1.2 kWh per day.

Costs per day: 1.2 kWh x € 0.22 = € 0.26 per day.

Costs per month (30 days): € 0.26 x 30 = € 7.80 per month.

Tips for saving energy

• Setting a timetable: Many Bloomfold models are equipped with a timer function, so that you can only let the device run when needed, for example when you are not at home.
• Don't forget to maintain: Make sure that the dehumidifier is regularly cleaned and maintained. A clogged air filter can lower efficiency and increase energy consumption.
• Use the dehumidifier only where necessary: Put the dehumidifier only in spaces that are really damp or where you have problems with fungus or condensation. This way you prevent unnecessary energy consumption.

Conclusion: Is a dehumidifier expensive to use?

The costs for using a dehumidifier are relatively low, especially when you compare it to the benefits it offers, such as healthier air quality. Although the energy consumption varies per model, the consumption can easily remain under control if you use the device efficiently.

Bee Bloomfold You can choose from energy -efficient models that are not only powerful, but also keep the costs low.
