what temperature should the dehumidifier be on?

dear God return it if you can!!! I keep mine on 50-55% humidity. Not a temp. but a percentage of humidity. bad designed product, I exchanged mine 3 times in the last 3 years at home depot.....

Yes, but not for extremes: Operating Temperature 0 - 40 C (32 - 104 F) Humidity Max. 85% non-condensing

sometimes if you unplug it and then plug it back in it reverts back to a default humidity setting. check to see if the setting is below 65%. i intentionally put mine on 45% and just let it run. when it reaches 45% it still runs but the dehumidifier part is on standby until the level goes above 45%.

It recommends the surface be 40 degrees or warmer when installing. If it's not, try warming it up with a hair dryer or heat gun.

I do everything in Fahrenheit, but I THINK that is about 95-100 degrees. For what I am doing, I keep it on about 124 degrees and it holds one degree either way, so I would say it SHOULD be OK for what you want.

I have not found moisture to be a problem at all, but we live in a fairly dry climate. We actually have a humidifier on our furnace. You probably don't need a dehumidifier. I am very satisfied with this product!

&lt;30% is where you'll see 10-15 degree decreases in your room. When humidity gets over 60%, evap coolers stop working, and in fact can increase the temperature by pumping in hotter, more humid air. At 50% humidity, you'll only get 2-5 degree decreases. With a smaller unit like this, I doubt that you'll notice anything above 50%. Right now in SLC, UT, it just rained. Humidity is about 53%. I can feel cool air coming out of the unit, but it doesn't travel more than 5-10 ft from the unit. When the humidity is the normal 20-25%, this thing blows frigid air and cools my 200 sq ft room quite well.

I don't have a dehumidifier but I have it set to kick on my HRV for humidity removal. It should also work for the AC as long as your furnace allows the hookup, since it does sense humidity.

Live in New York, humid summers here, with 80% humidity some days. Looking to protect film equipment. Looking to combat the days with high humidity and cool off the room instead of using the AC. Will this dehumidifier work well under these parameters?

This is depended on how low you set your cooling temperature. The lower you set it, the more the A/C compressor has to run; therefore you used more electricity. The lower the cooling temp. = the higher the percentage of electricity's saving using it as a dehumidifier.

I set mine to 50 to 55. Don't know about the timer persay. All I know is that when it reaches what you set for the humidity then the compressor shuts off and eventually the fan.

I wish I knew. I have this and the manual says absolutely nothing about how to set this in dehumidifier mode....nor do I see anything on the display about % of humidity. Sounds like BS to me. I'm probably going to get a separate dehumidifier instead...considering the fact that dehumidifiers display the amount of humidity in the air. I have no idea why NewAir listed this as a dehumidifier. I understand that AC mode can serve as a slight dehumidifier, but that's not so concentrated on that function.

There is no true On/Off setting. If you want interior temps to fall below 40F, you would need to turn the unit off at the circuit breaker.

It is difficult to determine, the temp on the front of the heater is the desired temp of the room. I set my heater 2 degrees above my heat pump thermostat. The heat pump does not come on. I had trouble with my humidifier unit, called customer service and had a new one in 3 days. I am very satisfied with it. My son bought one too.

i have this unit in a 25 ft x 25 ft garage; insulated (with 2 doors & windows), concrete floor & 10 ft ceiling.(attic above). it's set on the lowest setting and keeps the temp. around 50 degrees. i wall mounted the unit because i didn't want to damage the dry wall. down side: noisier than i expected, otherwise works well.garage is attached to home.

I do not use dehumidifier function. Can't tell about noose. We live in about 20% humidity.

About half way keeps my pump house at 45-50 degrees depending on the temp outside. Sub zero temps keep it a bit cooler inside, so I set it higher when I know the temp will drop low. My pump house is insulated well.
