We had a 5-6 week period of some of the highest consistent dews our region has ever seen . The fact that June and Aug show pretty blue doesn’t mean it was a cool chilly summer Lol well here is June July August for PVD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I am a bit shocked at those figures. I guess I don’t know how CDD are calculated. Do they take humidity into account? We ran our ACs a ton this summer due to the humidity. Plus a dehumidifier in the basement that has run almost 24/7 all summer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 30” this summer kept the unit busy for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know that you actually used significantly more kilowatt hours or is the cost more a function of the price of commodity? I'm guessing it's a blend of both, but would be interesting. I didn't have my heat pump all of last summer to be able to compare, so this year is really the only barometer I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used more kilowatt hours than last year for sure. Yes the rates are higher than a year ago as well. I think last summer was our previous highest use age as well since that was our first with the dehumidifier. Between the window units, the basement unit, and the pool filter for a few hours per day, I’m using way more power than before. This past winter was expensive but mostly due to the high rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cost me close to $2 a day to run the ac all day, a price I gladly play to be comfortable and my wife comfortable. She hates heat with her Scottish, Irish blood so best to keep her happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I know up here, You can go back and look at your Kwhr usage with your electric company and im sure its the same elsewhere, That's usually the telltale even with the PUC increases if your usage is higher, Your bill will be too, Running a dehumidifier consumes as much or more kilowatts then a AC window unit, I have 2 dehumidifiers the newer one is somewhat more efficient.

I’d pay a decent amount more than that for climate controlled luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
