Confused by how big your dehumidifier needs to be? Follow these simple sizing rules
Briefly

Selecting the correct capacity for a dehumidifier is essential for effectiveness. A low-capacity unit can run continuously without effectively reducing humidity, while a unit with excessive capacity can waste energy. The appropriate capacity depends on home size, dampness, and usage purposes. Dehumidifier capacity refers to moisture extraction over a 24-hour period, measured in litres per day. Efficiency relies more on proper matching to the space rather than solely on capacity.
When it comes to choosing a dehumidifier, capacity really does matter. Pick one that's too low, and it'll run constantly while barely reducing humidity.
The size of a dehumidifier is measured by its extraction rate, which is usually given in litres per day (often shortened to L/day).
A higher-capacity unit can remove more moisture, but it won't necessarily be more efficient. Matching a unit to your space is more important.
Knowing what size of dehumidifier you need will help you get better results with less waste.
