Reduce Costs in Commercial Spaces

Your HVAC system is eating up 40% of your energy budget—and your old dehumidifier might be the culprit.

For commercial and industrial facilities, humidity control is non-negotiable. But outdated dehumidifiers can drain power, spike bills, and leave you frustrated. The solution? Desiccant dehumidifiers—engineered to cut energy costs while keeping your space dry.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

• Why traditional systems waste energy (and money).
• How desiccant tech reduces consumption by 30-50%.
• Real-world savings from a Chicago warehouse and Toronto lab.
• Steps to upgrade without disrupting operations.

The Hidden Cost of Traditional Dehumidifiers

Why Your Old System is Burning Cash

Refrigerant dehumidifiers work like your home AC—cooling air to remove moisture. But in large spaces, this process is energy-hungry and inefficient.

The Problem:

• High Power Use: Runs constantly in humid climates.
• Cold Climate Failures: Struggles below 60°F, forcing heaters to compensate.
• Short Lifespan: Frequent repairs add costs.

Shocking Stat:
A Montreal factory saved $18,000/year after switching to desiccant systems—without sacrificing humidity control.

How Desiccant Dehumidifiers Slash Energy Use

Smart Humidity Control = Lower Bills

Desiccant systems use a moisture-absorbing rotor, not refrigeration. Benefits:

1. Lower Energy Demand: Uses 30-50% less power than refrigerant models.
2. Cold Climate Ready: Works efficiently even in sub-zero temps.
3. Heat Recovery: Recycles warmth from the process, reducing heating costs.

Case Study: Chicago Auto Parts Warehouse

• Old System: 4 refrigerant dehumidifiers, $2,800/month energy cost.
• Upgrade: 2 DL Modular Series units.
• Result: 42% lower energy bills ($1,624/month saved).

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Bottom Line: Desiccant systems pay for themselves in 2-3 years through energy savings alone.

3 Steps to Start Saving

Your Roadmap to Lower Bills

• Assess Your Needs:

• Measure current humidity and energy use.
• Identify problem zones (e.g., loading docks, storage areas).

• Choose the Right Model:

• DL Standard Series: Ideal for mid-sized spaces (e.g., labs, small warehouses).
• DL Modular Series: Scalable for large facilities with customizable airflow.

• Optimize Settings:

• Use smart sensors (included with DL Series) to auto-admit humidity levels.
• Schedule maintenance to keep efficiency peaks.

Pro Tip: Pair with solar power or off-peak energy rates for maximum savings.
