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

$117/yr · median certified model

Electricity in California is genuinely expensive — 34.7¢/kWh, 89% above the national average — so the median certified dehumidifier costs about $117 a year, and efficiency differences between models turn into real money.

Only 1 jurisdiction costs more: California ranks 50 of 51 for running a dehumidifier. Model choice matters as much as geography: at California rates the most efficient certified model (CONCETTA AS-CSJ72XK-2WT-OL) costs $36 a year while the most power-hungry (Healthy Climate HCWHD#-130) costs $975 — a spread of $939 every year. For reference, the national extremes are Nevada (13.1¢/kWh) and Hawaii (52.7¢/kWh); the same median dehumidifier would cost $44 and $178 a year there.
