 ENERGY STAR Qualified Dehumidifiers
 AT A  GLANCE
What is ENERGY STAR?
• The U.S. government-backed symbol of energy efficiency.
• A program dedicated to identifying products that save
  energy without sacrificing quality or performance.

Why Buy ENERGY STAR Dehumidifiers?
Save energy
• Qualified dehumidifiers use 10-20% less energy than similarly-
  sized units, but remove the same amount of moisture.
Save money
• A 40-pint ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifier can save more than $250
  over the lifetime of the unit compared to a standard model.
Save the environment
• By using less energy, qualified dehumidifiers reduce greenhouse gas emissions
  caused by burning fossil fuels at power plants.

Energy Fact:
• In 2007 alone, Americans—with the help of ENERGY STAR—saved $16 billion
  on their utility bills and prevented greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the
  annual emissions of 27 million vehicles.

Share These Tips with Your Customers
Operating features to consider when purchasing a dehumidifier:
• Choose a dehumidifier for a room's moisture conditions, ranging from moderately
  damp to extremely wet.
• Most dehumidifiers have a removable bucket to collect water, which will need to
  be emptied. Most also have a hose option, so the water can be directed into a
  floor drain.
• Most dehumidifiers have top-mounted air discharge and can be placed against
  walls. Models without a top-mounted air discharge need to be located away from
  walls and furniture, so that air can circulate freely around the unit.
• If the dehumidifier will be operating in temperatures below 65 degrees, consider
  a model specifically designed for lower temperatures.
