Dehumidifier Electricity Usage: A Complete Guide

How Much Electricity Does Dehumidifier Use in Pakistan?

Dehumidifiers in Pakistan cost between PKR 25,000 (10L/day) to PKR 1.5M+ (500L/day). Their electricity consumption depends on capacity, usage hours, and efficiency. Here’s what you need to know:

Electricity Consumption Overview
Dehumidifier Size Power Consumption Daily Cost (8–12 hrs) Monthly Cost (PKR)
Small (10–20L/day) 200–400 Watts PKR 40–100 (2–5 kWh/day) PKR 1,200–3,000
Medium (20–30L/day) 400–700 Watts PKR 100–210 (5–10 kWh/day) PKR 3,000–6,300
Large (50L+/day) 700–2,000 Watts PKR 210–600 (10–24 kWh/day) PKR 6,300–18,000

Calculations based on Pakistan’s average electricity rate: PKR 25–50 per kWh.

Factors Affecting Consumption

Humidity Level: Higher humidity (e.g., Karachi’s 70–90%) forces the unit to work harder, increasing usage by 20–40%.
Inverter Technology: Inverter models use 30–50% less power (e.g., PKR 8,000 savings/month for a 50L unit).
Usage Hours: Running 24/7 triples monthly costs vs. intermittent use.

Tips to Reduce Bills

Use auto-humidistat to shut off at target humidity.

Opt for Energy Star-rated models (20–30% more efficient).

Size correctly: Oversized units cycle frequently, wasting power.

How Much Electricity Does Dehumidifier Use in Pakistan per Month?

Dehumidifier Electricity Usage in Pakistan (Monthly Cost)

In Pakistan, dehumidifiers typically consume 200–800 watts of power, depending on capacity and efficiency. If you run a 500W dehumidifier for 8 hours daily, monthly usage equals 120 kWh (500W × 8h × 30 ÷ 1,000). At Pakistan’s average electricity rate of PKR 25–50 per kWh, your monthly cost ranges PKR 3,000–6,000.

How Much Electricity Does Dehumidifier Use in Pakistan per Hour?

If you’re considering a dehumidifier in Pakistan, typical electricity consumption ranges between 200 to 800 watts per hour, depending on capacity and efficiency. For example, a 300W unit uses 0.3 kWh, costing around PKR 7.5–10 per hour (based on PKR 25–33/kWh tariffs). Larger 700W models consume 0.7 kWh, costing PKR 17.5–23 per hour.
