What sits beside it in the ranking
KESNOS JD025N-80 ($56/yr, 299 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the JHS D025B-25Pt3. Folanzy WTE80P-025T ($56/yr, 299 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the JHS lineup
The JHS D025B-25Pt3 is the only dehumidifier from JHS that ENERGY STAR currently certifies, so there's no same-brand model to weigh it against here, only the full dehumidifier category.
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.
Weighing a replacement
The JHS D025B-25Pt3 is already efficient for its category at $56/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
The JHS D025B-25Pt3 already costs $56/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
Sourcing
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. The 299 kWh/yr figure is ENERGY STAR's own certification, not a wattage estimate; exact dataset IDs are on the data sources page.
