Aprilaire e080 80 Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier

Product Description

The AprilAire E080 80 Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier is a professional-grade, high-capacity moisture control solution designed for basements, sealed crawl spaces, and whole-home HVAC integrations. Engineered to target indoor relative humidity levels, it protects residential structures from mold, mildew, wood rot, and airborne pollutants by maintaining a healthy atmospheric range between 40% and 60% relative humidity. Capable of removing up to 80 pints (10 gallons) of moisture per day, this robust unit services large coverage areas up to 4,400 square feet, delivering efficient water extraction without the need for manual water trays.

Designed and assembled in the USA, the unit is recognized as an Energy Star Most Efficient certified product, pulling an impressive 2.8 liters of water per kilowatt-hour. This minimizes operational costs during continuous cycling. The hardware construction features a heavy-duty steel cabinet lined with half-inch expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation to minimize heat transfer and absorb operational sound, maintaining a low 45 dBA noise level when ducted. For maximum equipment longevity, the dehumidifier utilizes a high-efficiency refrigerant cycle equipped with corrosion-resistant aluminum coils that prevent premature refrigerant leaks under high-moisture loading.

Installation flexibility is supported by an onboard digital control panel that can be field-configured for either top-mount or front-mount orientation depending on installation clearance. The system can be deployed as a freestanding unit over a drain or fully ducted into an existing HVAC infrastructure using the included 10-inch diameter inlet and outlet duct collars. Air filtration is managed by a washable MERV 8 filter designed to capture airborne dust, dander, and respiratory allergens, while an integrated backdraft damper at the air outlet prevents cold air intrusion when the unit cycles off.
