It adds heat to the room. Honeywell spec says "5 amperes", or 600 watts (think of the heat from 10 incandescent 60-watt bulbs). A similar Honeywell model is 759 watts, so thats a lot of heat when the refrigeration section is running. So most definitely Yes, it will kick out heat that your cooling system will have to overcome. Output temperature of the air is not a good indicator of the actual heat being put into the room, as low flow would feel like warm air while high output airflow might actually feel cool, both with the same amount of heat (and effect on room temperature). It's a major problem with hot, humid areas that use a/c for cooling, which is most applications!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The air coming out of mine is pretty cool, definitely not hot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Have had several years experience with dehumidifiers and they will exhaust warm air. Most instruction manuals will state that they can raise temperature a few degrees in a room. My experience has been not noticeable in a basement.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it does blow warm air while in operation.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. The unit does expel warm air, but that is minor compared to the AC system of a 2800 square feet house. In my experience if the unit is actively running and the AC is cycled off, it can warm up the room until the AC cycles back on. In other words if the AC system tonnage is adequate for the square footage of the house, then the warm air from this dehumidifier will not be a problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not sure! It works great in my large basement but does raise the temperature a little bit!
