DeLonghi DEN500P
Dehumidifier with Patented
Heavy-Duty Pump System
50 Pint Low Temperature
Electronic Control Dehumidifier
Only one on the market with Pump Feature
A 50-pint ENERGYSTAR qualified dehumidifier can save consumers roughly $35 per year. This can add up to $400 or more over the life of the unit. That's enough to pay for the dehumidifier!
ENERGY STAR qualified models have more efficient refrigeration coils, compressors, and fans than conventional models, which means they use less energy to remove moisture. An ENERGY STAR qualified model removes the same amount of moisture as a similarly-sized standard unit, but uses 10-20 percent less energy.
In fact, the energy saved by an ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifier could power your refrigerator for 6 months
Home IAQ Plan: Easy as 1-2-3!
Step One - Monitor Your Home
Get a Particle Counter with 2 size ranges - small (bacteria, mold, etc) large (pollen, etc.)
This handheld technology has features that allow monitoring of indoor air quality with an LCD screen that provides small and large particle counts with a dynamic bar graph that shows an actual count reading. Multiple modes including minute, hour, day and monitor to evaluate your air quality and store up to 30 days of air quality history for review. This way you know if there is a problem.
Step Two - Get a Real Filter
Much attention is paid to the harmful effects of smog and other outdoor air pollutants, but the air we breathe inside our homes and workplaces can contain any number of airborne particles and pollutants. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than the air we breathe outside.

Why my house?
We all have very busy lives and would rather not worry about air in our homes. A few simple steps, however, can make a dramatic difference in how healthy our air is. We say "healthy" rather than just clean because most of us can look around our homes and say that it looks clean. The rooms are straightened up and there's not a lot of unnecessary clutter around. To us this is clean, but with air it is what is unseen and floating in the air that can hurt you.
Some First Steps ...
A recommendation is to make sure the filter in your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit is clean. Wash or replace the filter if they are dirty and clogged. If using replaceable filters make sure to change them often and check them frequently to make sure they stay clean. If using reusable filters make sure that they are cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions. Both types of filters need to be checked frequently for any clogs. Be sure to select a filter which can effectively remove smaller sizes of particles.
Continue the Process ...
Next, you will probably also want to purchase an air purifier or air cleaner. Remember all are not created equal! Air purifier/cleaner placement is very important. New particulate pollution will constantly be entering from the outside through drafts, windows, and doors. Also, new particles will be generated by virtually any kind of activity in the house such as cooking, getting up off the sofa, or walking across the carpet. Even air movement itself will pick up particles off seemingly clean surfaces and cause then to become airborne. It may require multiple air purifier/cleaners and careful placement to achieve your air quality goals.

Indoor Air Quality and your home!
Excellent!
But at the same time you have made it more difficult for fresh air to move into your home and for stale air to move out. The indoor air quality has deteriorated, and that makes the home environment uncomfortable and unhealthy, causing things like:
Headaches
Congestion
Runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing
Itching
Coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Increase in allergies and asthma
Proper ventilation is vital for healthy indoor air.
Green Build Concept
What does "green" mean? In this instance, the word is defined as anything that's done to enhance or conserve the environment or to conserve energy - designing environmentally sensitive development sites, employing energy-saving technologies, and providing adequate ventilation and air purification sustaining system.
Tight buildings reduce energy costs, but can also trap humidity and pollutants that may aggravate allergies and cause general discomfort, as well as damage windows and other parts of the building shell.
Today heat-recovery ventilators, also known as heat exchangers, enhance air quality and reduce overall energy costs. These systems bring in fresh air from the outside, preheat the incoming air during the winter and pre-cool the incoming air during the summer.
Once a home is well insulated and ventilated, other measures can be taken to conserve electricity, befriend the environment and lower costs.
