How much does the Broan 4044150 cost to run?

About $2.21 a day, or $66.28 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).

52.45 pints/day is 24.82 liters. At an IEF of 2.04 L/kWh that takes 12.17 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 12¢.

How does the Broan 4044150 rank in its DOE class?

In its DOE class (whole home dehumidifiers), 10 models have a matched Amazon listing. 8 of them have a higher IEF than its 2.04, which is 8% below their median of 2.22. On cost, removing the same 52.45 pints a day at their median IEF would cost $60.90 for 30 days running nonstop, $5.37 less than this one.

DOE's minimum for this class is an IEF of 1.77 L/kWh for units made since June 13, 2019. At 2.04, this one files 15% above that floor. 2 of the 30 in the class file exactly the minimum. Source: 10 CFR 430.32(v)(2).
