What are Your Options?

Here are the three types of dehumidifiers that our company offers:

Conventional Dehumidifiers

Conventional Dehumidifiers are considered to be effective for drying water damage remediation projects. It has similar features as the LGR and can be easily transported from one area to another with its ergonomically compact design. They draw moisture-laden air across a set of super cooled coils. As the air passes over, its temperature drops below dew point which leads to water condensation where extracted moisture drips down and is collected to be drained. Simultaneously, the dry air is reheated and exhausted back to the room. They yield a reliable amount of efficiency decent to effectively dehumidify smaller areas, and are less expensive than LGR and SLGR dehumidifiers.

LGR Dehumidifiers

Our LGR dehumidifiers are proven and certified with the best durability and performance.

According to IICRC S500-2006, LGR Dehumidifiers are equipped with an enhanced refrigeration system that can pull the grains down much lower and are more energy efficient. Their unique ability allows them to better remove moisture in an environment than conventional dehumidifiers, specifically removing moisture below 34GPP. This can be done with less electricity consumed and would continue to work at a lower humidity (80°F/20%).

SLGR Dehumidifiers

These are the newest and most advanced type of dehumidifiers you can find in the market. It is essentially an enhanced and upgraded LGR dehumidifier. With the powerful combination of our Microchannel Alu Condenser and SLGR technology, it produces the utmost dehumidification even in low humidity environments. Among the three types, if your needs are superlative, this dehumidifier will be your best bet.

What Type of Dehumidifier is Best for Your Scope of Work?

If you are looking for a residential dehumidifier, your best bet would be our line of conventional dehumidifiers. They get the job done precisely every day without you having to worry about drainage problems, short cycling, or too much energy consumption. We always consider our products to be your partner in making your daily routine easier, and our products do an excellent job in providing you with such assistance. But apart from residential purposes, our conventional dehumidifiers are also perfect for small-scale projects in different indoor commercial settings. So, if you are on the lookout for a device that could keep your space dry and safe from mold and bacterial growth, our conventional dehumidifiers are suitable for you.

On the other hand, if you are facing a larger restoration project, depending on the scope of damage, you will definitely need a dehumidifier from our LGR or SLGR series. These units can take up a harder and wider range of restoration than a conventional dehumidifier. They are extremely heavy-duty and mobile which can be used in extreme conditions where a huge amount of moisture in the air should be extracted. Take a look at our products below to see what is suitable for your restoration needs at home or in your work area:

Understanding the AHAM and Saturation Levels

In purchasing a dehumidifier, one must be knowledgeable about the difference and importance of AHAM and saturation levels. Saturation is measured at 90°F and 80% humidity. On the other hand, the AHAM’s (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) rating is at 80°F and 60% humidity. These figures should always be observed as they depict how a unit should perform in an average environment.
