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 130: 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
$145
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.
50 dBAPublished sound level
50 dBA ducted, per the Johnson Controls technical guide.
DamperBuilt-in backdraft damper
A backdraft damper is built into the outlet: when the unit is off, air does not flow back through the ducts.
0–60Built-in ventilation
The ventilation logic is built in and adjusts from 0 to 60 minutes per hour to bring fresh air into the house.
DisplayA control on the front or the top
The digital control with display moves from the front to the top of the unit, depending on access in the mechanical room. Setpoint from 40 to 80% humidity.
2.9 LWhat it removes per kWh
Each kilowatt-hour removes 2.9 litres of water from the air. At Hydro-Québec's Rate D, that's about 3.8 ¢ 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 9The filter
Filter: MERV 9, washable. 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.
