The Honeywell DR65A3000 ensures the home is maintained at proper humidity levels through its high
performance and efficiency.
Benefits
Removes up to 65 pints (30.8 l) of water per day from the indoor
air.
Built-in humidity control requires no additional wiring to an
external control. Just plug in and go! Choice of external control
options also available for centrally ducted control.
Energy Star rated.
Built-in transfromer circuit breaker.
Maintaining Ideal Humidity
Dew points and relative humidity (RH) affect the way your body
senses heat. Higher humidity levels cause the air to feel much hotter than the actual temperature. When
maintained properly, you can run your cooling equipment less because dehumidified air feels cooler.
Ideal humidity is defined by industry experts* as being between 4060% on an average annual basis. When
indoor humidity exceeds 60%, the home is more susceptible to mold and mildew growth. DR65A3000 safe-
guards against excessive humidity in the home year-round.
