WAVE VS. DEHUMIDIFIER
Consumers have primarily utilized dehumidifiers as a means of lowering indoor moisture levels. The fact remains that dehumidifiers are extremely costly to run, require daily maintenance, do not address the issue of ventilation and air exchange, recycle the same stale air again and again, and scariest of all, they can overheat and cause a fire. In fact according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, at least 1.5 million dehumidifiers were recalled in 2002 for this reason alone.
WAVE Ventilation beats standard dehumidifiers on every level. WAVE Ventilation is not only 90% less expensive to run, you get the added benefit of a continuous air exchange for improved air quality, and the reduction of risks associated with moisture and mold .
- Even on high, WAVE Ventilation uses only 38 watts, saving hundreds of dollars each year. Dehumidifier wattage translates to several hundreds of dollars each year.
- The average monthly cost is only $2 per month in electricity versus an average of $40 to $70 for a dehumidifier. Some high capacity dehumidifiers can cost as much as $100 or more a month.
- One WAVE Ventilation provides moisture control for the entire basement, crawl space and the upper levels as well.
- Dehumidifiers provide moisture control within a specified area, resulting in a need for additional units to achieve moisture reduction throughout.
- Dehumidifiers do not provide the circulation needed to dry out the structure.
- Dehumidifiers do not create airflow's over maximum surfaces, therefore leaving areas with stagnant moist air.
- WAVE Ventilation saves $500 a year over just one dehumidifier -- with our 10-year warranty that's a savings of over $5,000.

"I've had a dehumidifier running down there for almost twenty years without ever getting rid of the musty smell. After one day of running your unit, the smell is gone ..."
