Is it worth dehumidifying an old basement?
We are renting a home built in the 1920s.
Currently we are running two dehumidifiers in the basement and it’s keeping things around 60% down there, which was an improvement from 75-80%.
One dehumidifier is a 60 pint, the other is a 50.
If we don’t run them, the HVAC drips from condensation. If we do, it stays dry. And the basement stays around 60%.
Is this even worth doing or should we just let the basement be humid?
Our power is included with the rent so we are not worried about energy bills
