Humid air is pulled into the dehumidifier and passes over refrigerated cooling coils. Moisture from the air collects on these coils then drops into the drain bucket.

Your dehumidifier emits heat because it takes a lot of energy to keep the coils refrigerated and the fan operating.

The less humid your room or the area is, the cooler it will feel.

RELATED: Make sure to keep your dehumidifier clean and maintained.

If your AC is set at 72 Degree Fahrenheit, the dehumidifier will operate more effectively at 50% humidity than 85% humidity.
