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 Noma iQ 043-8820-8 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 $99/year every year.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers before buying.
Protecting what you have
At $99/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. Ranked 501 of 546, the Noma iQ 043-8820-8 sits in the middle of the dehumidifier category, see the guide to why your state changes this number for the other half of the math.
