When I Learned to Turn Off My Dehumidifier
Starting my journey with a dehumidifier was a game-changer for my home’s comfort, but learning when to turn it off was just as crucial.
💡 When to unplug that dehumidifier? Ideally, indoor humidity should be 30-50%. If the unit achieves this, or water collection decreases, it’s time to stop. Turn off dehumidifiers when temperatures drop below 65 degrees to conserve energy and maintain air quality and health.
