Re: [GBlist] Dehumidifiers?

["Robert Jordan" <rwjordan@charter.net>]

Are you asking about humidifiers or dehumidifiers?  You use both words
interchangeably.  The most efficient dehumidifier that I know of is DEC's
Santa Fe - on the ordr of three times as efficient as most others.  It also
costs about $1000.
