Does the Frigidaire blow cool air? We would like to use it during the summer to help the AC maintain a comfortable temperature. null

Question

Mike · Accepted Answer

No, it does not. The process of dehumidifying the air generates warm air.

mcolinj · Answer

The dehumidifier produces warm air from the compression process, so it will warm a room on its own. However, by reducing the humidity, it will permit your air conditioning to operate more efficiently. It will remove the need for your A/C to do as much de-humidification, and also, by drying the room, will make a higher room temperature more comfortable.

The answer is no. It is basically an ac unit. It blows warm air as the condenser is on. It blows cooler air when condenser is off. It actually warmed up the cellar while it was running.

Doc42 · Answer

No. The net effect is that it warms the air. The electric energy is released into the room.

Base upon how a dehumidifier works, most likely not. In order to get the cooling coils cold, the heat has to be drawn off and expelled. My dehumidifier pumps out warm air which is tolerable (i.e., not like a space heater) but not real comfy to walk through.

No. They condense moisture by cooling. They exhaust warm air. Air conditioners blow cold and dehumidify

Answer

It runs on cool air and heated air. Mine FFAD 7033R1A0. Runs on 2.2 amps low, 3.6 amps on high fan. Air is side venting. Best when warm air blows out. If top vents, warm heat blows directly up and around house. No increase negligible electric bill. Hope they make more 70 pt with low amps. Unit about 5 yrs old now. All their other units run on higher amps 6.7 amps on high and all other dehumidifiers only lasted 1 - 2 years. D. Mack

It does not blow cool air but by taking the humidity out it cools things down.

MovieLover · Answer

We have owned Frigidaire dehumidifiers for a couple of years. They work great for keeping our finished basement dry where our weather is humid. However, the air that is blown out from the unit is warm and would net help your AC maintain a comfortable temperature. Less humid, yes; cooler, no.
