Lifespan

NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for dehumidifiers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.

Shopping for a new one

Running above the category average, $99/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.

Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.

Protecting what you have

A dehumidifier like the Coolworks TDUDP-50AEN8-BB0 is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.

Sourcing

Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. At rank 465 of 546 for running cost, see the dehumidifier category page for the rest of the field, or the guide to how much your state matters.
