When Were Dehumidifiers Invented?

The first dehumidifier was created by American inventor Willis Carrier in 1902 to dehumidify a Brooklyn printing plant. Carrier cited the discovery as later motivating further discoveries in air conditioning.

How low can a dehumidifier go?

Q) How low can a dehumidifier go? A) Typically dehumidifiers are designed to operate at temperatures above 65°F degrees. If the temperature drops to 65°F degrees or below, a regular dehumidifier will let water freeze on the condenser coils.

What is the average lifespan of a dehumidifier?

The lifetime of dehumidifiers usually ranges from five to 10 years. To maximize the lifetime, it's important to care for your dehumidifier. Be sure to regularly change the air filters, clean the condensing coils and exhaust grilles, and empty and clean the water bucket.
