How much does the AprilAire E100C cost to run?

About $3.29 a day, or $98.70 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).

85 pints/day is 40.22 liters. At an IEF of 2.22 L/kWh that takes 18.12 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions. Electricity at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Each 1¢/kWh you pay above or below 18.16¢ moves the daily figure by 18¢.

How does the AprilAire E100C rank in its DOE class?

In its DOE class (whole home dehumidifiers), 10 models have a matched Amazon listing. Its IEF of 2.22 L/kWh is tied for 5th of the 10, and level with their median of 2.22.

DOE's minimum for this class is an IEF of 1.77 L/kWh for units made since June 13, 2019. At 2.22, this one files 25% above that floor. 2 of the 30 in the class file exactly the minimum. Source: 10 CFR 430.32(v)(2).

Questions

How many pints a day does the AprilAire E100C really remove?
85 pints/day, as certified to DOE under the 2019 test (65°F, 60% humidity). The older test ran at 80°F, so a rating from it reads higher for the same unit: the 2019 test explained.
How much does the AprilAire E100C cost to run for 24 hours?
About $3.29 for 24 hours nonstop at DOE's test conditions: 18.12 kWh at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
Who makes the AprilAire E100C?
DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the record doesn't say. It does show 6 brands filing one basic model, E100: AprilAire, Anden, Carrier and 3 more.
Is the AprilAire E100C the same as the Anden A100?
Yes, by DOE's records. Anden files A100 under the same basic model, E100, with the same 85 pints/day. 4 other brands file it too.
