Aprilaire E130

Under the DOE test basis, the Aprilaire E130 draws 926 kWh — about $170 at the U.S. average rate, concentrated in the months you actually run it. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 174% more than the median dehumidifier (rank 513 of 519) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $121 a year in Nevada but $488 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
