Are dehumidifiers energy efficient?

Most dehumidifiers use refrigerated coils to extract water from the air by condensing excess moisture onto the coils, as they are very cold.

What may improve energy efficiency is having a Hydrophilic coating on the coils, this makes water run off more rapidly, making the water extraction and collection process faster within the dehumidifier. Closing windows and external doors, when using your dehumidifier, will help efficiency.

Features such as automatic shut-off's, timers and smart controllers may reduce energy consumption.
