What the GARVEE G-AD50PT costs to run
At 504 kWh/yr, the GARVEE G-AD50PT's ENERGY STAR certification puts it one of the more expensive models in its category to run against every other certified dehumidifier.
That $95 is priced at 18.8¢/kWh, the average of all 51 state rates this site tracks. Your own state's rate is one click away.
How the GARVEE G-AD50PT compares to other dehumidifiers
The category average is 378 kWh/yr; this model runs 33.3% above it, ranking 384 of 546 dehumidifiers tracked here for running cost. 546 certified dehumidifiers, one average, about $24/year of daylight between it and this model; the full methodology has the rest.
Neighbouring models
Right next to the GARVEE G-AD50PT on that list: AUX ADT50V1 ($95/yr, 504 kWh/yr) runs slightly less, while Quilo QLDAD50PWK ($95/yr, 504 kWh/yr) runs slightly more.
Same brand, different models
Of the 5 ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers GARVEE makes, the G-AD50PT costs the most to run, $44/year more than GARVEE's cheapest, the G-AD22PT.
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
The GARVEE G-AD50PT runs above its category average. If the dehumidifier you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $95/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
The GARVEE G-AD50PT already costs $95/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
How this was checked
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. At rank 384 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.
