How much does the Field Controls FC-60DH cost to run?

About $1.81 a day, or $54.42 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).

43.49 pints/day is 20.58 liters. At an IEF of 2.06 L/kWh that takes 9.99 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 10¢.

How does the Field Controls FC-60DH rank in its DOE class?

In its DOE class (whole home dehumidifiers), 10 models have a matched Amazon listing. 7 of them have a higher IEF than its 2.06, which is 7% below their median of 2.22. On cost, removing the same 43.49 pints a day at their median IEF would cost $50.50 for 30 days running nonstop, $3.92 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 2.06, this one files 16% above that floor. 2 of the 30 in the class file exactly the minimum. Source: 10 CFR 430.32(v)(2).
