It removes the excess moisture from the air as it passes through the HVAC return duct, to reduce humidity in your indoor air. The dehumidifier condenses the moisture and drains the condensate out through an outlet. A whole home dehumidifier is usually placed with your HVAC system in the basement or similar space.<\/p>\n<p>A portable dehumidifier also does the same job, but locally. This means it has to be placed in the room that you want to dehumidify. It can be carried around. The portable device has a fan that suctions the air and passes it over cooling coils to condense the moisture, which is collected in a drip tray attached to it. The dry air is released back into the room.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_and_Cons_of_Whole_Home_Dehumidifiers_vs_Portable_Dehumidifiers\"><\/span>Pros and Cons of Whole Home Dehumidifiers vs. Portable Dehumidifiers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pros of a whole home dehumidifier include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Controls humidity throughout the house<\/li>\n<li>Can be placed away from sight and does not create much noise<\/li>\n<li>Has higher energy efficiency than portable devices<\/li>\n<li>Extends the life of your HVAC system by removing excess humidity before the air enters the system, reducing the load on it<\/li>\n<li>Usually lasts longer than portable devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons of whole home dehumidifiers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Relatively more expensive<\/li>\n<li>Requires professional installation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pros of a portable dehumidifier:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can be moved around the house and address the humidity problem wherever you need it<\/li>\n<li>Easy to use with a simple plug-and-use system, no installation required<\/li>\n<li>Less expensive than whole home models<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons of portable dehumidifiers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can only dehumidify one room at a time<\/li>\n<li>Condensate collected needs to be emptied once in a while<\/li>\n<li>Placement is inside the room which can be a disturbance due to the noise it produces<\/li>\n<li>Occupies usable space in the room<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portable_or_Whole_Home_Dehumidifier_%E2%80%93_Deciding_Which_One_To_Pick\"><\/span>Portable or Whole Home Dehumidifier \u2013 Deciding Which One To Pick?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/whole-home-dehumidifier-vs-portable-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Benefits of a Whole Home Dehumidifier vs. Portable Dehumidifier\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/whole-home-dehumidifier-vs-portable-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/whole-home-dehumidifier-vs-portable-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The decision depends entirely on your requirements.
