How much does it cost to run a dehumidifier in Alaska?

$94/yr · median certified model

Electricity in Alaska is genuinely expensive — 27.4¢/kWh, 45% above the national average — so the median certified dehumidifier costs about $94 a year, and efficiency differences between models turn into real money.

Alaska ranks 44 of 51 jurisdictions for dehumidifier running costs — solidly mid-table. At local rates, certified models span $29 (CONCETTA AS-CSJ72XK-2WT-OL) to $768 (Healthy Climate HCWHD#-130) per year — $739 of annual headroom that depends entirely on which unit you buy. For reference, the national extremes are North Dakota (12.3¢/kWh) and Hawaii (46.6¢/kWh); the same median dehumidifier would cost $42 and $160 a year there.
