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 GARVEE G-AD35PT is already efficient for its category at $69/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
At $69/year just to run, a dehumidifier is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
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 303 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.
