Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the MOISWELL Aegis H110: Airecoler Sailing S120A ($70/yr, 374 kWh/yr), then MOISWELL Aegis HP110 ($70/yr, 374 kWh/yr).
Comparing MOISWELL's own models
Ranked 9 of MOISWELL's 24 certified dehumidifiers, this sits between the Defender M7R ($54/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the Marshal WP160 ($118/yr, its priciest).
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
Efficient as certified dehumidifiers go, $70/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
A dehumidifier like the MOISWELL Aegis H110 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.
Where this number comes from
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 374 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.
