How much does dehumidification typically cost?« Back to Previous Page

The cost of dehumidification systems can vary significantly based on the type of system chosen, its capacity to handle your particular space's humidity issues, and whether you opt for a portable unit or a whole-house solution. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai where it is known to have humid summers, it’s not uncommon for residential properties to experience moisture-related issues following rainfall events.

Typically, for a small apartment or a single bedroom, a portable dehumidifier with a capacity of 30-60 liters per day might suffice. These units can be purchased from retailers ranging between AED 150 and AED 700 depending on the brand and features. However, if your space is larger, such as an entire villa or office, you may require a whole-house dehumidification system that could cost upwards of AED 2,000 to AED 10,000.

In cases where humidity levels are severely high and causing issues like mold growth, structural damage, or persistent musty odors, it is highly recommended to consult with professional environmental inspection and remediation services. These professionals can assess your property's specific needs accurately. For such a consultation in Dubai, the cost might range from AED 500 to AED 1,500 depending on the scope of work required.

If you decide to proceed with dehumidification, it’s crucial to maintain proper usage and cleaning practices to ensure effectiveness. Regularly check and clean the condensate collection trays or pipes to prevent clogging, which can lead to water damage. Also, ensure your unit is placed in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.

Furthermore, if you notice signs of excessive moisture such as visible mold growth, peeling paint, or persistent musty odors, especially after rainfall events like the one last month, it’s advisable to contact professional services immediately. Ignoring these signs could lead to significant property damage and health issues for your family.
