These work. Ours, installed today, is helping to preserve a graceful antebellum estate with a full basement limestone foundation, walls a foot and a half thick, without any significant insulation to speak of. Just came back from resetting a breaker and felt the change, but it took me a while to recognize it. The musty smell and the heavier "air" was gone, it was also cooler even though today was about seven degrees warmer.
We're so glad to hear it! Thank you for contacting Aprilaire and sharing with us here.
Nice unit!
We appreciate your feedback! Thank you for contacting Aprilaire.
What a great video
Thank you for contacting Aprilaire. We appreciate your feedback!
I had one put in my crawl space 6 months ago. I was told it was quiet but it is definitely not quiet! It wakes me up often.
Have you found a remedy for the noise? I have an 1820 model dehumidifier and we can hear fan motor running under our floor (it's in the crawlspace). I'm thinking of adding some sound deadening foam between the floor rafters above the dehumidifier.
@@canonman223 put rubber pads under the feet if its on concrete,
Mine blows hot air back to the room ??
Can i ask some install advice please. Aprilaire e100 dehumidifier being ducted to return plenum. Plenum is 12 x 20"
Am I ok to use side takeoffs for the ducting? Easier for access here.
Can they be 45 degree( essentially thats actually a top takeoff but being installed as a sidetakeoff) or do they need to be straight collar takeoff?
Hi Jim - Thank you for contacting Aprilaire. Our support team has advised that they were able to address your questions on this via email. We appreciate you reaching out! If you need any further assistance moving forward, please let us know.
If connected to my hvac ducts is the air filter necessary? I have a large 4" media filter on my hvac. I'd like to not have to crawl in my crawlspace to clean the filter.
Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! Would you mind giving us a call directly to discuss this? We'd be happy to help. We can be reached at 1-800-334-6011 Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CT.
I have the Model 76 control for my Aprilaire dehumidifier and I see that it sometimes is not running (dehumidifying) when the humidity is higher than the setting. Why is this? For example, currently it shows 70% humidity in my crawlspace, but it is not running even though I have it set for 55%.
Thank you for contacting Aprilaire. Can you give our Healthy Air team a call directly at 1-800-334-6011? We'd be happy to assist.
Aprilaire no worries, I’ve since figured out what I was doing wrong since I posted this comment. I had the wrong setting selected.
Im finishing my basement. The dry wall will be about 8 inches from the basement wall. Should I put the dehumidifier on the unfinished side? And duct it around the perimeter?
Hi William - Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! If you could give our Healthy Air team a call directly at 1-800-334-6011, we'd be happy to address this.
Keep finding a puddle under my 1830 in my crawlspace that is coming from around where the drainage line was installed.
Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! Please ensure that the unit is fully level, both front to back and side to side, and that there are no blockages in the drain hose that may prevent water from draining effectively. If the issue persists, we recommend reaching out to your HVAC contractor for further troubleshooting.
Hello Aprilaire Crew. Just purchased / installed the new E100. It's going to be a standalone installation in a wide open 800sq ft basement.
My question is: Do the duct collars for each end allow the unit to work more effectively?
As of now, I don't have them attached because I am not ducting it.
Do you recommend attaching these?
Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! Aprilaire units can be installed freestanding or connected to the ductwork in a whole-home configuration. It is not necessary to attach the collars if the unit is to be left unducted. Connecting to the HVAC system increases the volume of air that can be dehumidified. However, because of the stack effect, it is also best practice to install a dehumidifier freestanding in a basement or crawl space application. If you have any additional questions, we'd be happy to assist.
i attached the collars and a few feet of duct on each side for a freestanding install since my manual mentioned quieter operation that way. it also helps ensure you are not recirculating dry air through the dehu (point inlet and outlet ducts toward different corners of the space).
Should I use a condensate pump if I install this in my crawlspace? I plan to gravity drain only by suspending the 1830 from floor joists under house using Aprilaire hanging kit and connect PVC pipe from dehumidifier inserted into an existing drain pipe which exits outside of foundation wall.
Hi David - Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! Can you give our Healthy Air team a call directly at 1-800-334-6011? We'd be happy to assist.
you only need a pump if you cant maintain the slope to drain outlet
Can the 1820 be plugged into a 15A outlet? Depending what else is on that circuit of course
Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! We do recommend that the Model 1820 be plugged into a 120-volt outlet with a 15-amperage breaker. If you have any additional questions, we'd be happy to assist.
i've the 1830 in a small crawl 1 story brick ranch. my humidty is always high in the house. what setting should mine be at on the panel?
Thank you for contacting AprilAire! We recommend anywhere from 50 to 55% setting for our dehumidifiers. If you have any additional questions, we would be happy to assist.
Does the nest have that capability for dehumidification control?
Hi Tommy - Our apologies for not getting back to you here. If you still need assistance or if you have any additional questions, please give our Healthy Air team a call directly at 1-800-334-6011.
ua-cam.com/video/WdXVzJH5fOA/v-deo.html yes but it has limitations
I purchased the Aprilaire 1850 and have it set to 40% RH. At this setting is it possible for the unit to reach this level. My home is only 1100 Sq. Ft.
I got a 1850 they will do 5000 square feet. If your house is not properly closed up with 6 mill plastic and vents and cracks sealed it probably will have to work harder to reach 40%. The reason why is the 1850 will be pulling outside air into the crawlspace and moisture from the dirt floor.
@@conmigocarolinadenorte5558 I think you might be assuming he has a crawler. Your assumption could be correct but it could be a slab or even a basement.
My A/C technician will be installing two Aprilalire units that we purchased and will be attached to the HVAC system that we have in the basement, a 30K BTU Smasung. We bought Aprilaire E100 Dehumidifier and Aprilaire 5000 air purifier. My question is what is the correct sequence of these units when placed after the return air. When return air from the house goes back to the basement which divice should be first? Dehumidifier or AIr purifier? And finally the clean dired air will go to the main compressor to be distributed in the house? Thanks
Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! We would want the installer to install the 5000 electronic air cleaner to be the closest unit to the furnace on the return air duct and the E100 to be upstream on the return air duct with a return to return installation. We want filtering the air to be the last thing done before entering the furnace. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us by calling 1-800-334-6011. Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance; Aprilaire appreciates your business.
@@aprilaireco Thank you so much. You are the best company.
@@WordsPhotos We appreciate your support! Thank you again for contacting Aprilaire.
My display is showing single digit numbers 1-7. How do I switch it back to the humidity percentage?
Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! Would you mind giving us a call at 1-800-334-6011? We'd be happy to talk through this with you.
Just so we all understand after watching this video from you, is it true if you buy this as a home owner DIY, you won't get warranty support is that correct?
Hi Chad - Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! We stand behind these products with a 5-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. Our heavy duty, professional grade dehumidifiers are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. by Aprilaire, and warrantied to be free from defects in materials or workmanship. We recommend you go to our website at www.aprilaire.com/owner-center/owners-manuals to review the digital Product Owner’s Manual which contains our full warranty details and limitations. Due to the professional nature of our products, the warranty is void if a qualified Contractor does not install the Product AND there is a defect related to the installation. If you have any additional questions, we'd be happy to assist. Thanks again for reaching out.
If the dehumidifier senses that the air is too humid, will it turn on independently of the air conditioning system?
Thank you for contacting AprilAire! How the unit will operate will depend on if it is ducted into the HVAC system. If it is ducted into the HVAC system, it should be wired such that the dehumidifier turns on the HVAC blower. In this instance, it would not operate independently of the HVAC system. If it is a freestanding unit, it would turn on independent of the HVAC system. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-334-6011.
This can be installed in the attic to dehumidify the house?
Hi Brian - Thank you for contacting Aprilaire. The Model 1830, 1850, and 1870 Dehumidifiers in this video can be installed in an attic (fully ducted) for whole-home dehumidification. Please let us know what additional questions you may have and we'd be happy to assist.
You should include a short segment on adding a condensate pump.
Thank you for your feedback, John! If you have any questions on this that we can assist with, we can be reached at 1-800-334-6011.
Did you figure out where the condensate pump wires are installed into this unit?
@@fastrivers812 I guess you’re supposed to call the 800 number.
@@fastrivers812 Wait.....wires? Installed into the unit? I didn't have to do anything like that when I hooked my Little Giant pump up to this dehumidifier. Do you have some sort of specialized unit or something?
@@SergeantExtreme Normally you would wire the safety cut off from the pump to the dehumidifier. The pump wouldn't need to be wired into the dehumidifier but you have would want a cut off if the pump failed
Can I use PEX for plumbing the drain?
Hi Ron - Thank you for contacting Aprilaire! You can use PEX piping for the drain on our dehumidifiers provided you are not using it in a space where the ambient temperature would cause the piping to melt, or cause water to freeze in the piping (for example, an unconditioned attic during the winter months could cause water to freeze in the piping). If you have any additional questions, we'd be happy to help.
@@aprilaireco Thanks. It's in my crawlspace. I don't think there should be any extreme heat.
Put a union on that drainline... maintenance is not if, but when.
union?
@@enkrypt3d If you go with pvc for a drainline, it means you don't have to cut/refit/glue anything all over again when unit needs to pulled for whatever reason - channel locks [with a light touch] or a strap wrench is all that's needed to make up or loosen it. Guys with strong hands in most cases leave tools alone. Your plumbing suppier keeps common sizes on hand most of the time.
@@flinch622 not sure what a union is can u give me a link?
@@enkrypt3d Shop where you like, but here's one look at what I'm talking about: www.ferguson.com/product/12-in-socket-straight-schedule-40-pvc-union-with-buna-n-o-ring-seal-s457005/_/R-4465907
The fitting has three pieces - two that glue on, but don't forget to put the threaded piece in place first before gluing up. Dry fit everything before gluing: the threaded part of this has to mate up relatively square - most pvc unions will have an o-ring. If it gives you trouble staying put while making it up for any reason, a light coat of silicone grease will help it stay in the groove, but do not use anything petroleum based as that can cause softening/ageing of plastics and sometimes shorten service life.
lol he doesnt blink
Good luck dealing with their warranty dept. constant voicemail.

@@aprilaireco Glad you cleared that up. My 1850 that has only been in 11 months quit. Display said it was fine and running but it was not. Only after unplugging and plugging back up would it start back. With no error codes and it starting back up after powering down, no way to diagnose. I installed but it was to replace a professional install of a 1700 when the house was encapsulated so it was simply plug and play. The 1700 died. I am like most that have an encapsulated crawlspace, I cannot be without a dehumidifier. No one in my area will work on these units. So we shall test your statement.
@@bogieman101 Thank you for contacting Aprilaire and sharing with us here. If we can provide any assistance with your Aprilaire dehumidifier, we'd be happy to help. We can be reached at 1-800-334-6011 Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm CT.
What happened? It makes sense that the warranty is good only if installed properly. However, if the unit ran perfectly for 11 months before failing, how does the manufacturer place fault on the installation? If they are in the practice of not honoring the warranty for a DIY installation, perhaps they should not offer it through retail sellers.
@@parrotlover9035 Completely agree. Trying to decide if it is worth pulling the trigger on one or buy the Santa Fe. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to install one of these!! It really concerns me that it seems they always want to blame it on the non professional installer in order to avoid honoring the warranty! In fact the video even shows it’s dummy proof to install! Why have this video on UA-cam if they are catering to the professional and not the DIY. Professionals don’t come to UA-cam to learn their trade. At least I hope not!
Just took delivery of my E100 (1850)... FedEx delivered partially unboxed, and unit was upside down, FedEx drivers are not to keen on shipping package warnings... All of those large arrows and letters are so cunfusing! And it was packaged pretty good, none of the E100 casing or other parts were damaged, which honestly surprised me, as I was expecting at least one side of the E100 cabinet to be crushed inwards, got lucky there. All corners were intact too, another surprise as FedEx really manhandled this thing, which is honestly uncalled for. I can say that, I have worked with UPS, SAIA, ABF and FedEx running those double trailers out of their shipping hubs, FedEx is the worst.
On the Aprilaire end of things... The TWO zip ties on the shipping bracket were never put together, just hanging loosely, I am honestly surprised it turned on the way it was shipped and all... No signs of leakage from the compressor, and it is running, no abnormal noise to speak of. The unit is much quieter than that stand alone ACE Hardware unit which is right next to it. It should be even quieter once I see that everything is working properly and duct it into my HVAC system. Fingers crossed, I do not want to send this unit back for a replacement.
I bought this unit, on sale, from the Crawl Space Ninjas. They have been great to work with, said no issue shipping a replacement out if need be. And they beat everyone else's pricing out there, they are also quick to answer the phone down in Knoxville. I would do business with them again without hesitation.
Alright! Pray everything is working with this unit! So far so good!
