Use in crawl space and had hoped that I could set and forget, however it has to be recharged every few years

Comments about Ebac CD30 Dehumidifier:

I bought the Ebac CD30 for my crawl space (approximately 1200 square feet). I live in the southeast, a very humid area, and was regularly seeing relative humidity levels above 70% in the crawl space with mold present. In addition, newly installed teak hardwood floors on the first floor began to cup after only 2 months of installation, an indication of high moisture levels in the subfloor. This unit was recommended by a professional waterproofing company in addition to wrapping the crawl space with 15 mil plastic. The waterproofing company stated that the installation of this dehumidifier was a critical component of controlling the air humidity and also said this unit specifically was very reliable and efficient. It was installed with a permanent drain to the outside.

The unit is quiet, with no noise heard in any living area. Because of the defrost feature, the unit can remove water within the typical temperature of my crawl space, approximately 60-70 degrees.F. The unit is basic, with the only control being the humidity level dial, so it does require you have a humidity reader to check the relative humidity levels of the space.

Since installation, I have not seen relative humidity in the crawl space rise above 55%. The unit has run constantly for several months now with no problems whatsoever. Moisture levels in the subfloor have dropped from around 20% to 8% and the hardwood floors have returned to nearly flat. I have also not seen any significant change in my power bills. I would definitely recommend this unit as a rugged crawl space dehumidifier.

Comments about Ebac CD30 Dehumidifier:

Very well constructed, simple to operate. Now at work in room containing humidity sensitive items, no problems. I am satisfied with the operation of the unit.

Since this unit does not have a humidity display, I have had to purchase a humidity meter to use to adjust the unit setting to achieve the desired humidity level.

Everyone told me that these are supposed to be very reliable but I'm not sure it is worht the price. It is keeping the area underneath my home dry but it is pretty high priced.

Comments about Ebac CD30 Dehumidifier:

I was looking for a crawl space dehumidifier which was heavy duty and would work in colder temperatures thru the winter and summer. I didn't want to spend over $1000.00. The plain household models just didn't fit the bill and only lasted one or two years and the thermostates just were not accurate. They would fail and just run continueusly. I did some research on the internet and found the EBAC CD30 rated very highly. Once I decided on this model ... the gentalman I spoke to seemed very knowledgable about the product. Having used this Dehumidifer over the past few months, I am pleased with its performance. Runs very quietly, and the thermostat is extremely accurate. You can't go wrong with this unit!
