Re: The energy crisis
Also bear in mind that electricity is roughly 4 times more expensive per kWh than gas. So even if every unit of electricity used by the dehumidifier eventually heated the room it’s in, that heating would be considerably more expensive than the equivalent energy delivered via a gas boiler and radiators.
Obviously it’s a tad more complex when you take efficiency of heaters into account but you get the general idea.
Basically, use a dehumidifier if you need to dehumidify your living space, but it isn’t effective as a substitute space heater.
