Choosing the right size commercial grade dehumidifier depends on factors such as the size of the area, humidity levels and specific environmental conditions.
Measure the size of the room in which you need to use your commercial dehumidifier and choose the best commercial dehumidifier that is slightly larger than your calculated needs to handle unexpected spikes in humidity. For example, if your space is 2,000 square feet, then your dehumidifier's treatment area needs to be greater than or equal to that size, such as Abestorm's commercial dehumidifiers, which you can choose from in addition to the Hurricane DV.
At the same time you need to assess the humidity level of the space, for example, offices and warehouses are medium humidity, while basements, water damage restoration areas, construction sites are high humidity. Consider the capacity of the dehumidifier, which is usually measured in pints per day (PPD) or liters per day (LPD).
Medium Humidity
Up to 1,500 square feet 50-70 PPD
1,500-3,000 sq. ft. 70-100 PPD
3,000-5,000 square feet 100-150 PPD
5,000 sq. ft. or more 150-250+ PPD
High Humidity Environments
Below 1,500 sq. ft. 70-90 PPD
1,500-3,000 sq. ft. 90-120 PPD
3,000-5,000 sq. ft. 120-200 PPD
Above 5,000 square feet 200-300 PPD or more
Environmental conditions also need to be considered; colder areas may require a dehumidifier with automatic defrost. High-humidity spaces will require a built-in pump for continuous drainage, and consider units with wheels or handles for easy mobility.
If unsure of your specific requirements, consult a professional. By carefully evaluating your space and humidity levels, you can select the right size dehumidifier to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. If you need more specific advice, please contact us know!
