How efficient are Healthy Climate dehumidifiers?

Of the 3 Healthy Climate dehumidifiers, 3 file a higher IEF than the class median.

Healthy Climate dehumidifiers against the median IEF (L/kWh) of their DOE class. DOE data as of 2026-11-03.
DOE class	Healthy Climate models	Above median	Class median	Best Healthy Climate
Whole home dehumidifiers (30)	3	3	IEF 2.13	HCWHD5-080 IEF 2.22

A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.

Who makes Healthy Climate 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.

One of the 3 Healthy Climate basic models is filed under AprilAire's own model number (E080).

Healthy Climate shares 3 units with 5 other brands. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

How much does a Healthy Climate dehumidifier cost to run?

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 3 Healthy Climate dehumidifiers with both figures use 13.85 to 21.48 kWh a day. That's about $2.52 to $3.90 a day, or $75.48 to $117.05 for 30 days. The lowest is Healthy Climate HCWHD5-080 (65 pints/day, IEF 2.22) and the highest Healthy Climate HCWHD5-130 (100.8 pints/day, IEF 2.22).

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 Healthy Climate

Is Healthy Climate a good dehumidifier brand?: How its 3 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. One is filed under another company's model number (see who makes them above). We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
Does Healthy Climate make a 50 pint dehumidifier?: Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 3 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by Healthy Climate HCWHD5-130 at 100.8 pints/day. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
Which Healthy Climate dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?: Healthy Climate HCWHD5-080, Healthy Climate HCWHD5-100 and Healthy Climate HCWHD5-130 tie at IEF 2.22: higher than 18 of the 30 in its DOE class (whole home dehumidifiers).
Is Healthy Climate the same as AprilAire?: For 3 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (E080, E100 and E130). Compare the 4 brands of E080. Compare the 6 brands of E100. Compare the 5 brands of E130.
