About the usual efficiency for a whole-house unit

Its efficiency is 2.35 liters per kWh. The median of the 21 certified ducted models is 2.35. At the median, the power bill won’t separate it from most units, so compare installed quotes.

Ask for an installed quote

The E080 connects to your ducts and needs a drain line, and the labor adds to its price. ENERGY STAR says a contractor should size and install it.

  • Filed with the DOE at 65 pints a day and 2.22 L/kWh, in a 3.3 cubic foot case.This filing is 25% above the federal minimum of 1.77 L/kWh for whole-house units with a case of 8 cubic feet or less.

in the United States

A day of nonstop drying means 65 pints of water, about 8.1 gallons, for some 13.1 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the E080 costs $2.40 to run that day.

Thirty days like that would use about 393 kWh, or $72. That’s nonstop running at the test conditions. Once the house reaches its humidity setting, the unit shuts off.
