How efficient are Johnson Controls dehumidifiers?
Of the 3 Johnson Controls dehumidifiers, 3 file a higher IEF than the class median.
| DOE class | Johnson Controls models | Above median | Class median | Best Johnson Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whole home dehumidifiers (30) | 3 | 3 | IEF 2.13 | S1- |
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes Johnson 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.
One of the 3 Johnson Controls basic models is filed under AprilAire's own model number (E080).
Johnson Controls shares 3 units with 5 other brands. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:
| Basic model | Johnson Controls model | Number belongs to | Brands |
|---|---|---|---|
| E080 | S1- | AprilAire | 4 |
| E100 | S1- | No known prefix | 6 |
| E130 | S1CVD130T01 | No known prefix | 5 |
How much does a Johnson Controls dehumidifier cost to run?
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 3 Johnson Controls 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 Johnson Controls S1-CVD080T01 (65 pints/day, IEF 2.22) and the highest Johnson Controls S1CVD130T01 (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 Johnson Controls
- Is Johnson Controls 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 Johnson 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 Johnson Controls S1CVD130T01 at 100.8 pints/day. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which Johnson Controls dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- Johnson Controls S1-CVD080T01, Johnson Controls S1-CVD100T01 and Johnson Controls S1CVD130T01 tie at IEF 2.22: higher than 18 of the 30 in its DOE class (whole home dehumidifiers).
- Is Johnson Controls 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.
