How efficient are Field Controls dehumidifiers?
Of the 4 Field Controls dehumidifiers, none files a higher IEF than the class median: 4 fall below it.
| DOE class | Field Controls models | Above median | Class median | Best Field Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whole home dehumidifiers (30) | 4 | 0 | IEF 2.13 | FC- |
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes Field Controls dehumidifiers?
DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the evidence is whose model number each unit is filed under and which other brands file the same unit.
None of the 4 Field Controls basic models is filed by another brand as of 2026-11-03, and none uses another company's model number. DOE's records tie them to Field Controls alone.
How much does a Field Controls dehumidifier cost to run?
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 4 Field Controls dehumidifiers with both figures use 9.99 to 21.15 kWh a day. That's about $1.81 to $3.84 a day, or $54.42 to $115.22 for 30 days. The lowest is Field Controls FC-60DH (43.49 pints/day, IEF 2.06) and the highest Field Controls FC-120DH (89.84 pints/day, IEF 2.01).
Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so these are the upper figures for a day of nonstop running.
At 18.16¢ per kWh, the US average residential price for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Worked out from the certified figures.
Questions about Field Controls
- Is Field Controls a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 4 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. All 4 are filed under Field Controls alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does Field Controls make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 3 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by Field Controls FC-120DH at 89.84 pints/day. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which Field Controls dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- Field Controls FC-100DH, at IEF 2.12: higher than 13 of the 30 in its DOE class (whole home dehumidifiers). At the other end is Field Controls FC-85DH, at IEF 1.88, higher than 2 of the 30 in its class.
