How much energy does a Bloomfold dehumidifier use?

A dehumidifier is a useful device to control the humidity in your home, especially in damp areas such as the basement, bathroom or living room. But just like any electrical device, it costs energy. How much energy does a dehumidifier use and what does it cost? In this blog we will dive into the energy requirements of dehumidifiers and give you an idea of ​​the costs involved.

Energy consumption of a dehumidifier

The energy consumption of a dehumidifier depends on several factors:

1. Capacity of the dehumidifier

The larger the capacity of the dehumidifier, the more energy it will generally consume. For example, a 12L model dehumidifier will consume less power than a 20L or 25L model, simply because larger models need more power to dehumidify larger spaces.

2. Level of humidity

Energy consumption also depends on the humidity in the room. In a very humid room, a dehumidifier will have to work harder, which leads to higher energy consumption. If the humidity in your room is constantly high, the dehumidifier will run longer and more often.

Energy consumption of Bloomfold dehumidifiers

Bloomfold offers a variety of dehumidifiers in different capacities, from 12L to 25L per day. Here is a breakdown of the average energy consumption for the different models:

• 12L model : This compact model consumes an average of 185 watts per hour. It is ideal for smaller spaces, such as bedrooms or small living rooms.
• 16L model : This model consumes approximately 300-350 watts per hour. Suitable for medium sized rooms such as a larger living room or a kitchen area.
• 20L model : With a power of 350-400 watts per hour, this model is suitable for larger spaces such as basements, large living rooms or work areas.
• 25L model : The most powerful model consumes around 400-450 watts per hour and is ideal for rooms that need to be continuously dehumidified, such as damp cellars or storage rooms.
  
  

How much does it cost to consume energy?

Now let's convert energy consumption into costs. The average electricity price in the Netherlands is around €0.22 per kWh . To get an idea of ​​the costs, you can use the following calculations:

Example 20L Air dehumidifier

Consumption: 400 watts per hour = 0.4 kWh per hour.

Use per day : 3 hours per day.

Energy consumption per day: 0.4 kWh x 3 hours = 1.2 kWh per day.

Costs per day: 1.2 kWh x €0.22 = €0.26 per day.

Cost per month (30 days) : €0.26 x 30 = €7.80 per month.

Tips to save energy

• Setting a schedule : Many Bloomfold models are equipped with a timer function, so you can only run the appliance when necessary, for example when you are not at home.
• Don't forget to maintain : Make sure the dehumidifier is cleaned and maintained regularly. A clogged air filter can reduce efficiency and increase energy consumption.
• Only use the dehumidifier when necessary : ​​Only turn on the dehumidifier in rooms that are really damp or where you have problems with mold or condensation. This prevents unnecessary energy consumption.

Conclusion: Is a dehumidifier expensive to use?

The cost of running a dehumidifier is relatively low, especially when compared to the benefits it provides, such as healthier air quality. Although energy consumption varies by model, it is easy to keep consumption within limits if you use the device efficiently.

At Bloomfold, you can choose from energy-efficient models that are not only powerful, but also keep costs low.
