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.
Is it worth replacing?
The Friedrich D35C1A is already efficient for its category at $71/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new dehumidifier costs to run.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
Whether or not the Friedrich D35C1A ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a dehumidifier, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
The data behind this page
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 378 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Dehumidifier category page shows all 546 dehumidifiers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
