How much does it cost to run a dehumidifier in Maine?
$100/yr · median certified model
Electricity in Maine is genuinely expensive — 29.6¢/kWh, 61% above the national average — so the median certified dehumidifier costs about $100 a year, and efficiency differences between models turn into real money.
Only 3 jurisdictions cost more: Maine ranks 48 of 51 for running a dehumidifier. Model choice matters as much as geography: at Maine rates the most efficient certified model (CONCETTA AS-CSJ72XK-2WT-OL) costs $31 a year while the most power-hungry (Healthy Climate HCWHD#-130) costs $831 — a spread of $800 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.
