Aprilaire E130

Under the DOE test basis, the Aprilaire E130 draws 926 kWh — about $174 at the U.S. average rate, concentrated in the months you actually run it. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 170% more than the median dehumidifier (rank 475 of 481) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $114 a year in North Dakota but $432 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
