7 Commercial Dehumidifier Buying Tips

Buying a commercial dehumidifier for your business or warehouse is a big investment which makes it very important to buy the right one. There are different kinds of commercial dehumidifiers with their own unique set of qualities. Buying one isn’t like choosing a portable dehumidifier because you have to make sure your dehumidifier covers a large room or warehouse. Fortunately, there are a few things you may keep in mind to help you buy the right dehumidifier for your business.

7 Things About Commercial Dehumidifier to Remember

 

1. Know the Difference

The first thing you may want to know is the difference between a commercial dehumidifier and a residential one. Residential dehumidifiers are usually smaller, quieter, and more affordable because they’re manufactured for small domestic rooms. Commercial dehumidifiers, as well as industrial dehumidifiers, are more fit for large rooms or warehouses because they’re built for durability and to cover wide rooms.

2. Measure the Size of the Room

Before you start browsing for a dehumidifier, you need to know how big your commercial space is in cubic square feet. You can do this using a ruler or tape measure to find the width and length of the room. To find the cubic square feet, multiply the width and length, and then multiply them by the height of the room.

3. Find out Your Recommended Air Changes per Hour

Air changes per hour (ACH) is the frequency of the air flow through the dehumidifier every hour. Some dehumidifiers have set ACH depending on the humidity of the room. For humidity levels of 90-100%, the ACH is 6 while 80-90% is 5, 70-80% is 4, and 3 for humidity levels of 6-70%.

4. Using Commercial Dehumidifiers in Other Large Spaces

Your commercial dehumidifier may also be used in your home as long as you’re using it in a large space. These dehumidifiers are manufactured for large areas with high humidity. Even though you may use one in your home, it’s better to keep dehumidifier units made especially for residential use.

5. Amount of Noise Produced

If your commercial space recently experienced a flood or leak, using a large dehumidifier may help speed up the drying process and prevent bacteria and molds from growing. They may be better than fans when removing moisture from hard surfaces, wall frames, and wood flooring. Keep the doors and windows closed when you turn on the dehumidifier.

7. Know How Much Water It Will Remove
