Is it the right size for your home?
It removes 80 pints a day according to the spec sheet. Choose your home's living area, then what you see in the basement.
Living area
What you see in the basement
It's the right size.
For a 2,200 to 2,800 sq ft home with condensation on the walls or windows, you need to remove about 102 pints a day (spec sheet conditions). It removes 80: enough for the house, with some reserve for humid weeks in July.
Calculation: pints a day needed for the living area and the basement's condition, at the spec sheet's test conditions. Our estimator measures the humidity on site before ordering.
What it does, in numbers
$92
Electricity per year
8 h of running a day, May to October
Same calculation for every line: wattage × running hours × 184 days (May to October) × 11.142 ¢/kWh. The unit stops on its own once the target humidity is reached, so its running hours depend on your basement.
Capacities, efficiency and electrical data: manufacturer's spec sheet. Running wattage calculated: litres per day ÷ litres per kWh ÷ 24 h. Cost: Hydro-Québec Rate D, second tier (11.142 ¢/kWh), in effect since April 1, 2026.
What you should know about this one
Published, verifiable facts, not brochure claims.
E080The same unit as an AprilAire E080
In the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) certification database, the Johnson Controls S1-CVD080T01 is listed under the AprilAire E080 basic model. The figures on this page therefore come from AprilAire's spec sheet and installation guide for that model.
65 ptsIts rating at 73 °F
At the DOE test point, 73 °F and 60% humidity, the spec sheet gives 65 pints a day and 2.35 L/kWh, versus 80 pints and 2.8 L/kWh at 80 °F. The cooler the air, the less it removes.
185 cfmShort, straight ducts
The spec sheet gives 185 cfm with no ducts, 135 cfm at 0.2 in. and 85 cfm at 0.4 in. of static pressure, the maximum allowed. Short, straight 10 in. ducts keep its airflow up.
6 inIt can ventilate too
Its built-in control can open a motorized damper (AprilAire 6506) that brings in fresh air through an insulated 6 in. duct. The damper and duct are added to the installation; our estimator includes them when needed.
45 dBAPublished sound level
45 dBA ducted, per the spec sheet. A backdraft damper at the outlet keeps air from flowing back through the ducts when the unit is off.
2.8 LWhat it removes per kWh
Each kilowatt-hour removes 2.8 litres of water from the air. At Hydro-Québec's Rate D, that's about 4.0 ¢ per litre.
40–60%The humidity range to aim for
The range recommended by ASHRAE. Above 60%, a home becomes prone to mold and mildew.
10 °CIt works in a cold basement
Operating range of 10.0 to 40.0 °C per the spec sheet: it keeps working in spring and fall, when the basement is still cool and damp.
MERV 8The filter
Filter: MERV 8, washable, 13.5 × 12 in. It protects the coil and captures part of the particles in the basement air.
Built-inHumidity control is included
No wiring to an external control: plug it in and it manages the humidity on its own. A wall control is still possible when it's connected to ducts.
5 yrsThe parts warranty
Manufacturer's limited warranty on parts.
What it needs on site
In a finished basement, we put it in the mechanical room and connect it with ducts to keep the noise away from living spaces. Our estimator checks the location, the drain and the duct route before ordering.
